Proof Morgan Dollars
1896 $1 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. A magnificent Superb Gem specimen of the 1896 proof Morgan dollar, an issue known for its high technical quality and outstanding visual appeal. Only 762 proofs were struck, but the craftsmen and technicians at the Philadelphia Mint had perfected the art of striking proof coinage by this time and the coins they produced in the 1896-1898 era are remarkable for the depth of reflectivity in their fields and their spectacular cameo contrast.
The present coin is an exemplary specimen, with razor-sharp definition on the richly frosted design elements and deeply mirrored fields that create a startling cameo effect. The brilliant surfaces are virtually pristine and overall eye appeal is terrific. Census: 3 in 67 Ultra Cameo (1 in 67★), 19 finer (3/17).
