1890-O S$1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. This 1890 New Orleans
<B>1890-O S$1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS.</B></I> This 1890 New Orleans Mint issue had a mintage of 10,701,000 pieces. David Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States,</B></I> writes that prooflike specimens are relatively plentiful. The population figures from PCGS and NGC bear out his contention, as nearly 600 examples have been certified. It is unlikely, however, that none of these can match the technical quality and aesthetic appeal exuded by this Premium Gem Prooflike coin. It is the finest, solitary example graded by PCGS, and tied for finest certified with a similarly-graded NGC piece.<BR> The lightly frosted, sharply struck design elements yield a pleasing contrast with the prooflike fields, especially when the coin is tilted under a light source. The surfaces are essentially untoned, save for the slightest hint of gold color on the lower right obverse. Both sides are remarkably well preserved, and the cheek is refreshingly clean. A few light roller marks are noted over each side. Population: 1 in 66 Prooflike, 0 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
