<B>1885 S$1 PR67 Cameo NGC.</B></I> The Mint struck 930 proof Morgan dollars in 1885. Q. David Bowers notes that this issue often possesses "... medium cameo contrast. More than just a few of this date have been dipped so many times that the mirror surfaces are dull gray." The present specimen is certainly one of the most eye-appealing examples of this issue. The cameo contrast verges on an Ultra Cameo designation, with thick mint frost over the ice-white devices providing stark contrast against the profoundly mirrored fields. Just the faintest touch of gold patina graces the far rims on each side. Evidence of contact is essentially absent, although a few wispy hairlines appear under a loupe. NGC has graded six pieces PR67 Cameo, with three Cameo pieces finer, while the highest example at PCGS is a PR66 in any designation (4/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
