Unusual 1902 PR66 Cameo Dollar

1902 $1 PR66 Cameo NGC. Cameo proof 1902 Morgans are unusual, which makes the Premium Gem offering in this lot rather special. The reason for the infrequent appearance of this issue in Cameo contrast is succinctly put by David Bowers in his 1993 silver and trade dollar reference: "In keeping with Proof dollars of the next two years, Proofs of 1902 are of low contrast due to having the dies polished on the devices. This feature recurs on practically all Proofs 1902-1907." The rarity of 1902 Cameo dollars is evident from the population data. NGC and PCGS have certified a mere seven examples combined.
The deep mirrors of this PR66 establish strong contrast with the motifs. The only color apparent is an occasional barely discernible wisp of reddish-gold in the margins, and a well directed strike brings out strong definition on the devices. The only mark evident on the impeccably preserved surfaces occurs on the lower cheek, and the only reason for its mention is for pedigree identification purposes. Census: 4 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (3/09).
