Description

1859 $1 PR64 Cameo NGC. Cameo contrast is unmistakable despite light honey-gold toning. A needle-sharp Choice proof with a well preserved reverse and a few faint hairlines on the right obverse field. 1859 was the first year that proof mintages were recorded. 800 pieces were struck, although survivors appear scarcer than the lower mintage 1862 to 1865 No Motto proofs. Probably, a portion of the 1859 mintage went unsold and was melted at the Mint. Census: 8 in 64 Cameo, 6 finer (6/08).
