Description

1903 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. The typical 1903 Morgan dollar proof has, according to David Bowers (2005): "... no cameo contrast. The portraits and certain other recessed parts of the die were polished--what student of the series Michael Fuljenz calls 'the chrome look.' " This is why only nine examples of the 400 or so certified 1903 proofs have been given the Cameo designation by NCG and PCGS.
The present Superb Gem is one of those nine. Its untoned surfaces exhibit pronounced field-motif contrast, and are virtually flawless. An exacting strike leaves sharp definition across the design elements. Census: 3 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (3/09).
