Description

1897 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. The 1897 Morgan dollar saw a mintage of 731 proofs. As is evident from NGC/PCGS population figures, a goodly number of these have survived to the present day, even with a Cameo finish.
Cameos in the lofty grade of PR68, however, are another matter entirely. Indeed, the two services have seen only 10 such pieces. The immaculately preserved surfaces of this Superb Gem jump out at the observer. They are completely color free, and exhibit boldly struck, frosty design features that stand above the deeply mirrored fields. Both sides yield breathtaking eye appeal. Census: 8 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (3/09).
