<B>1845 $1 PR64 <img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"> NGC.</B></I> Splashes of ocean-blue and orange-gold throughout the peripheries undoubtedly inspired the Star designation, awarded by NGC for superior eye appeal. The intricate strike will also please the collector. Both major devices exhibit contrast with the reflective fields, although NGC has omitted a cameo designation. All proof 1845 dollars were struck from the "common reverse" used to coin most 1840 to 1850 proofs. Per Bowers (1993), two proof obverse dies are known, and the present piece is his second variety. It is identified by prominent recutting on the 84 in the date. Census: 7 in 64, 6 finer (2/08).<BR><I>Ex: Amon G.
