1893 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC
<B>1893 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC.</B></I> The Morgan dollar saw 792 proofs coined in 1893, nearly half of which have survived, judging from NGC and PCGS population data. Coins with the Cameo designation are much fewer, especially those in the higher numerical grades.<BR> Deeply mirrored fields establish pronounced contrast with the motifs of this Superb Gem proof, confirming the Cameo designation, and impeccably preserved surfaces are essentially untoned. We mention a small milling mark just below Liberty's chin that may help identify the coin for future catalogers. Save for the usual weakness on the hair above Liberty's ear, the strike on this specimen is above-average, as most of the remaining elements are well impressed. Such is not the case for most other representatives of this issue, for as David Bowers (1993) writes: "The situation of flatly struck Proof coins begun in 1888 ... was continued. In 1892 and 1893 dollars the flatness is particularly noticeable; more so than in the earlier years." <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
