<B>1891 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC.</B></I> The technical aspects of this gleaming Gem specimen are impressive in their own right, but this coin's bold striking, often an area of deficiency on 1891 proof Morgans, sets this magnificent specimen apart. The delightfully frosted devices show wonderful definition, particularly at the often-soft hair over Liberty's ear. Hints of haze visit the fields, but the effect on the coin's contrast is minor.<BR> Q. David Bowers, in his <I>Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars</B></I>, sums up the proof 1891 issue: "Low mintage, the possibility of a weak strike, and so many cleaned and dipped coins on the market add up to a challenge." While the 650 proofs that comprise the 1891 issue come with a variety of potential pitfalls, this lovely exemplar bypasses those hazards. In sum, a specimen that merits careful consideration. Census: 12 in 67 Cameo, 2 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
