Description
Exquisite Deep Cameo Proof 1896 Morgan Dollar
1896 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67+ Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
This dreamy Superb Gem exhibits heavy frosting to the design elements, the fields forming a splendid backdrop of deeply mirrored reflectivity. Virtually untoned and platinum-white, with just a subtle hint of vanilla hues near the borders. Fully struck with razor sharp striking detail throughout, this is an expertly produced and preserved specimen that stands tall among the silver dollar highlights in this sale. Whereas Proofs of the 1888 to 1893 era are the most consistently unattractive in the Morgan dollar series (due to lightness of strike in the centers), those delivered between 1896 and 1898 are among the most beautiful. Special care seems to have been taken in the preparation of dies during the latter era, resulting in some of the most boldly cameoed Proof Morgans available to today's collectors. This is among the finest survivors from this desirable era, and it offers exceptional quality from a mintage of 762 pieces.
PCGS# 97331. NGC ID: 27ZT.
PCGS Population: 5; 3 finer in this category (all Proof-68 Deep Cameo). CAC Stickered Population: 5; 2. The former total includes coins certified both Proof-67 Deep Cameo and Proof-67+ Deep Cameo.
