1887 Morgan Dollar, PR67 Cameo
Among the Finest Certified
1887 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. Only 710 proof Morgan dollars were
struck in 1887, but the business-strike mintage of more than 20
million pieces was a record that stood until 1921. Many prooflike
coins exist, and some examples were mistaken for genuine proofs
before the advent of third-party grading services. However,
prooflike business strikes tend to lack strong elements of
contrast, and few would qualify for a Cameo designation. In fact,
relatively few proof examples have been awarded the coveted
designation, and specimens at the Superb Gem level are extremely
rare. To date, NGC has certified eight examples in PR67 Cameo, with
none finer; while PCGS has yet to grade any coin in this exalted
grade, and none finer (6/10).The present coin is a magnificent Superb Gem proof, with brightly reflective fields and sharply frosted devices. Every detail of Liberty's hair and every feather on the eagle's breast is crisply defined. The field-device contrast is bold, and the slightest hints of attractive gold color can be seen when the coin is tilted in the light.(Registry values: N4719)
