<B>1892 S$1 PR67 <img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10> Cameo NGC.</B></I> Many proof dollars dated 1892 continue the trend, that began in 1888, of a flat strike in the hair over Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast feathers. This has prompted David Bowers (1993) to comment: "Among extant 1892 and 1893 Morgan dollars the flatness is particularly noticeable; more so than in the earlier years. Perhaps half of the surviving 1892 proof dollars show this lack of detail."<BR> This is undoubtedly one reason that NGC assigned the coveted Star designation to this Superb Proof Cameo. Striking details are exceptionally well brought up, with clear delineation evident in the hair over Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast feathers. Moreover, the essentially untoned surfaces yield a nearly white-on-black contrast, and are immaculately preserved.
