<B>1885 S$1 PR66 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> VAM-5, Doubled 85. Also listed as Breen-1 in his <I>Proof Encyclopedia.</B></I> The doubling is most apparent at the bottom of the 5, beneath the knob, and less so at the bottom of the second 8. The proof mintage of 930 pieces contrasts starkly with the enormous business strike mintage approaching 18 million pieces, yet in another way the business strikes and proofs share something in common: generally sharp strikes. Of course, the multiply struck proofs are far sharper, and they generally are found with good cameo contrast, such as on the present piece. This coin is essentially untoned, with superb silver-on-black contrast between the fields and the devices. While the VAM variety likely carries little premium as an R.3 coin, it does add extra pizzazz to this already-delightful piece. Population: 12 in 66, 0 finer (3/07).<BR><I>From The Palakika Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
