Description
Stunning 1903 Dollar, PR68 Cameo
1903 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. The 755 proof Morgan dollars produced in 1903 were made so that the "portraits and certain other recessed parts of the die were polished--what student of the series Michael Fuljenz calls 'the chrome look,' " according to the Bowers silver dollar Guide Book. That is why this stunning Superb Gem proof, designated Cameo by NGC, is such a rare bird. The surfaces do show a "chrome" or quicksilver look, with silver-white brilliance throughout. There is sufficient field-device contrast for a Cameo designation that is somewhat more obvious on the reverse, even if it falls short of intense. Needless to say, perusal with a loupe will fail to encounter any distraction, large or small, on the surfaces, save for a hint of strike softness on the hair over the ear. Census: 3 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2823, PCGS# 87338, GSID# 7866)
