Description
1887 Gold Dollar, PR65 Cameo
Scarcer JD-2 Variety
1887 G$1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-2, R.5. A fairly generous
mintage of 1,043 proof gold dollars was accomplished in 1887 and
John Dannreuther has identified two die varieties for the date.
This coin represents the scarcer JD-2 variety, with a new obverse
die that shows a dot behind the eye and an irregular raised area on
the chin (this obverse is also used on the JD-1 variety). The
reverse die has a low date that slants slightly down from left to
right. The JD-2 dies were also used to strike business strikes. The
surviving population for JD-2 is estimated at 30-50 examples in all
grades.The present coin is a delightful Gem proof, with razor-sharp definition on all design elements and deeply mirrored fields that contrast boldly with the frosty devices. The lemon-yellow surfaces are well-preserved and appealing. Population: 8 in 65 Cameo, 9 finer. CAC: 6 in 65, 5 finer (4/19).(Registry values: P1)
