Proof Morgan Dollars
1894 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. A key date in the circulation-strike series (just 110,000 pieces struck), the 1894 Morgan was minted in normal quantity as proofs. Among all of the proof issues, the mid-1890s silver dollars are showpieces of fine workmanship and visual distinction. Perhaps the Mint had more time to concentrate on proof quality, rather than churning out millions upon millions of unwanted and unnecessary business-strike dollars.
This exceptional Superb Gem Cameo proof is one of five such coins at NGC, with just two numerically finer (3/17). The silvery mirrors are deep and glassy, while the smoothly frosted raised elements sit high on the reflective fields thanks to a deep, full strike. Faint wisps of fine gold toning occupy the squared rims and waft across the high points of the portrait and the wreath. For specialists in high-grade Morgan proofs, it approaches ultimate quality in the much-desired Cameo format.
From The Siegel Collection.
