Description

1884 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. The white-on-black contrast is obvious and seamless. This essentially brilliant Superb Gem is void of hairlines. The strike is exquisite, even on the curls above Liberty's ear, which are sometimes blunt on proofs. Perusal beneath a loupe fails to locate any grade-limiting marks or spots. The appearance is the same today as when the piece fell from the dies 125 years ago. Although business strike production exceeded 14 million pieces, just 875 proofs were issued, and most cluster in the PR62 to PR65 grades. Census: 8 in 67 Cameo, 2 finer (4/09).
