Proof Morgan Dollars
1892 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. Proof production spiked across the board in 1892. Why? The Mint anticipated heightened demand for proof sets containing the new Barber coinage. Morgan dollars were also included in the sets, and benefited from increased interest. A total of 1,245 proofs were distributed in all, the second-highest proof mintage in the Morgan dollar series after the 1880. Cameo representatives are much scarcer than their non-Cameo counterparts, and they prove very rare in this extraordinary state of preservation.
This Superb Gem Cameo proof looks exactly as it did the day it was manufactured. Not a hint of toning is present on either side, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate bold contrast generated by thickly frosted motifs and glassy, unmarked fields. Census: 18 in 67 Cameo (3 in 67), 4 finer (10/16).
From The Stichter Collection.
