1895 S$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. Apparently none of the 12,000 business strikes from 1895 made it out of government vaults and into general circulation, most likely all were melted under authority of the Pittman Act of 1918. Which means, of course, that collectors who desire an 1895 are left to bid on one of the proofs of this issue. Only 880 proofs were produced and far fewer are available to collectors today. This is one of the most attractive pieces we can remember handling in PR64 or even PR65. The cameo contrast is strong on each side with glittering, frosted devices that provide stark contrast against the depth of mirrored reflectivity in the fields. Light golden-rose toning is seen on both obverse and reverse and is just a bit deeper in hue around the margins. We cannot find any contact marks that are worthy of individual mention on either side. Population: 7 in 64, 16 finer (10/02).From the Robert Tarr, Sr. Collection. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
