1895 Morgan Dollar, PR62 Cameo
Famous Proof-Only Issue
Important Series Key

1895 $1 PR62 Cameo PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint struck a normal number of 1895 silver dollar proofs -- 880 coins -- of which a limited number display Cameo or Deep Cameo contrast. About 10% of the surviving proofs are impaired, leaving a vast number of collectors no choice but to compete with unending vigor for the relatively few proofs available. Famously, no circulation strikes are known to exist despite a Mint report that suggests 12,000 P-mint pieces were struck.

Bold cameo contrast framed by golden rims gives this visually impressive 1895 dollar extra charisma. Some light hairlines mingle with die polish lines to account for the PR62 numeric grade, yet eye appeal is largely undiminished. The well-frosted devices display sharp definition against brilliant-mirrored fields. All 1895 proofs are scarce and highly prized with the Cameo designation.
