1886 Gold Dollar, PR65+
Rare at This Gem Deep Cameo Grade

1886 G$1 PR65+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-1, R.4. The relatively large 1,016-piece proof mintage yields precious few Gem or finer Deep Cameo survivors. Only a dozen or so Deep or Ultra Cameo proofs are reported by PCGS and NGC combined. The grading services have to be on their toes, because both circulation strikes and proofs were produced from the most frequently encountered 1886 proof die pair (JD-1). John Dannreuther writes: "We have Proofs struck from the JD-1 die pair, then circulation strikes, more Proofs, more circulation strikes, and so on." Dannreuther proceeds to isolate characteristics of the true JD-1 proofs -- small die lumps at Liberty's eye lid and below the earlobe. A second proof die pair (JD-2) is much scarcer but easy to identify, with its date much lower than the JD-1 proofs. This high-end Gem Deep Cameo example offers blatant gold-on-black contrast and visually arresting light-gold color. A pinpoint-sharp strike attends the richly frosted devices. Population: 2 in 65 (1 in 65+) Deep Cameo, 5 finer. CAC: 2 in 65, 4 finer (4/24).(Registry values: P1)
