Description

Nicely Contrasted 1899 Cameo PR68 Dollar

1899 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. An untoned Superb Gem whose luminous devices contrast favorably with the darkly mirrored fields. Post-strike contact is virtually absent, limited to a couple of nearly imperceptible lines in the right obverse field. The strike is full, even in areas sometimes found weak, such as the hair above the ear, the breast feathers, the claws, and the leaves opposite the wreath bow. A scant 846 proofs were struck, a lower mintage than the famous proof 1895. A remarkable 19th century proof type coin that would be the highlight of many an advanced collection. Census: 8 in 68 Cameo, 1 finer (1/10).(Registry values: N7079)
