Premium Gem Proof 1897 Dollar
One of Just 731 Pieces Struck

1897 $1 PR66 NGC. The quality of the proof Morgan dollar issues of the mid-1890s has become famous among series specialists, and this Premium Gem specimen of the 1897 exemplifies the best attributes of the year. While not designated as a Cameo coin, owing to the considerable mocha-gold toning over the rims and reaching into the fields, both sides show appreciable field-to-device contrast nonetheless, thanks to the snowy frost over the devices. Carefully preserved beneath the patina and decidedly appealing. For the contrast category, Census: 23 in 66, 18 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
