Description
1897 Morgan Dollar, PR68 Cameo
Seemingly Perfect Surfaces
1897 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. Of the two dies used to strike proof
1897 dollars, this one does not show repunching on the 18 in the
date. But that is not the reason a collector would be interested in
this coin. It is the phenomenal quality this piece represents that
sells itself to the many interested buyers of high quality proof
Morgans. For a three-year period from 1896 through 1898, quality
reached its peak in the production of proof coinage. And that
includes Morgan dollars. This is a stunning example. The coin is
brilliant and the fields are deeply reflective with a significant
amount of mint frost over the devices that provides cameo contrast.
We just do not see any flaws on either side of this magnificent
proof. Census: 8 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (2/10).From The JTR Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
