Exceptionally Well Struck 1893 Gem Proof Dollar

1893 $1 PR65 NGC. Proof dollars of 1893 are typically lightly struck in the centers. Van Allen and Mallis contend that they "are the most poorly struck Morgan proofs." This Gem proof is exceptional in that regard. The detail in the hair over Liberty's ear is strong, though just a tad short of full, while the breast feathers do exhibit completeness. Additionally, pretty gunmetal-blue, lavender, and gold-orange toning concentrates at the margins, more extensively so on the obverse. Nicely preserved throughout. Census: 23 in 65, 47 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
