Proof Morgan Dollars
1881 $1 PR67+ PCGS. CAC. In his Official Red Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, Q. David Bowers (2007) wrote about the proof dollars of 1881 and gave particular praise to two attributes: "Excellent strike and deep cameo contrast go together on most pieces." Although it lacks the aforementioned cameo contrast, this coin makes up for it with spectacular patina and a razor-sharp impression. This delightful piece is one of the finest survivors from a mintage of just 984 proofs.
This gorgeous Superb Gem proof Morgan dollar displays bold detail, and a lightly toned region at the upper right obverse hints at the cameo effect that once appeared on that side. The rest of the specimen, however, now exhibits rich violet, blue-green, orange, and jade patina. The fields are exquisitely preserved, and the overall visual appeal is grand.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2007), lot 1762; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 2999; Eugene H. Gardner Collection (Heritage, 10/2014), lot 98628.
