Proof Morgan Dollars
1885 $1 PR66+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. Writing in the popular Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, Dave Bowers paints a rather bleak picture for collectors seeking an 1885 proof: "Medium contrast. More than just a few of this date have been dipped so many times that the mirror surfaces are dull gray. Such coins are not for you." This phenomenon contributes to the scarcity of high-grade Cameos and the prohibitive rarity of Deep Cameos. The present Plus-graded, CAC-approved Premium Gem Cameo is a stellar piece, ranking finer than the typically offered example by leaps and bounds. The strike is fully executed, and each side is free of significant toning. The mirrors are deep and deliver stark contrast nearly worthy of a Deep Cameo designation. Population: 21 in 66 (3 in 66+) Cameo, 3 finer. CAC: 9 in 66, 2 finer (11/16).
