1881 Morgan Dollar, PR67
Exceptional Deep Cameo Example

1881 $1 PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS Secure. CAC. Walter Breen's research indicates 1,089 proof Morgan dollars were struck in 1881, 700 examples in the first quarter of the year, 40 in the second, and 349 in the fourth. Only 975 specimens were sold with the proof sets and nine more were apparently sold as single pieces. Another 105 examples went unsold and were melted after the end of the year, yielding a net mintage of 984 pieces.

The 1881 proofs were produced to a high standard of quality and many coins exhibit razor-sharp strikes and profound cameo contrast. This spectacular Superb Gem is an outstanding example of this quality, with needle-sharp definition on all the design elements and deeply mirrored fields that contrast dramatically with the richly frosted devices. The impeccably preserved surfaces are mostly brilliant, with a few subtle hints of pale gold toning. Eye appeal is terrific. Population: 1 in 67 Deep Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 67, 0 finer (7/18).(Registry values: P2)
