Proof Gold Dollars
1882 G$1 PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The Philadelphia Mint coined 5,000 circulation-strike gold dollars and 125 proofs in 1882. Surviving proofs are apt to be in lower numerical grades, often with little or no contrast. PCGS has certified 64 proofs of this issue, including 16 Cameo proofs and 13 Deep Cameo proofs. That total certainly includes an unknown number of resubmissions.
Although a glass reveals a few trivial contact marks, the pristine yellow-gold surfaces of this Premium Gem retain the orange-peel or watery fields of high quality proofs with excellent contrast. Both sides showcase thickly frosted devices. Population: 4 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/16).
