Lot 1848
1884. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. This is a lovely Cameo Gem that is fully impressed and nicely contrasted on each side. The devices appear to float atop shimmering reflectivity in the fields. Both sides exhibit soft honey-golden color. Smooth and virtually pristine, with expectably strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. This one is a strong candidate to represent the type in a high-quality proof collection. As with all proof issues in the classic U.S. gold series, the 1884 gold dollar is a rare coin. This is true even though the 1884 has a fairly sizeable mintage of 1,006 pieces. Attrition was high, however, and at least half of the coins struck were almost certainly melted as unsold or lost in other ways. Pop 9; 17 finer, 1 in 66 Star, 13 in 67, 3 in 68. (PCGS # 87634) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
