Description

1871 Seated Dollar, PR65 Cameo
Stark Obverse Contrast
Conditionally Rare

1871 $1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Only a few dozen Cameo 1871 proof Seated dollars are reported at PCGS, and Gem-quality examples are decidedly rare. We have previously offered only two Gem Cameos, both NGC coins. This CAC-approved PCGS example is at least as fine visually, showing a full strike, frosty motifs, and deeply reflective fields that are free of major distractions. The obverse is starkly contrasted with a champagne-tinged interior and gold, lavender, and aquamarine border toning. The reverse is more uniformly toned in mottled gold and olive-green hues with less field-device contrast. Finer examples of this late-series proof issue are extremely rare. Population: 3 in 65 (1 in 65+) Cameo, 3 finer. CAC: 2 in 65, 5 finer (1/17).(Registry values: N4719)
