Description

1869 Dollar, PR65+ Deep Cameo
Gorgeous Color and Contrast

1869 $1 PR65+ Deep Cameo PCGS. OC-P3, Low R.4. Ex: Simpson. A die line through the dentils below the date and die doubling on the reverse motto confirm the attribution. This is one of four die varieties known among the 600 proof Seated Liberty dollars struck in 1869. Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing suggest 450 of those coins survive. About 170 examples represent the OC-P3 die pair, making this the most collectible marriage for the 1869 proof dollar.

Color and contrast are the defining attributes of this Gem Cameo offering from the Bob Simpson Collection. The raised design elements are thickly frosted, standing out markedly against the reflective fields that surround them. The outer areas are beautifully toned in shades of ocean-blue, green, crimson, and orange-gold. Population: 6 in 65 (3 in 65+) Deep Cameo, 5 finer (2/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 252R, PCGS# 97017, Greysheet# 7336)
