1895 S$1 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Although Mint records indicate that 12,000 business strikes were produced of this issue, none survived and the entire mintage may well have been melted under the Pittman Act of 1918. This leaves only the proofs for collectors, of which only 880 pieces were struck. This particular coin may have been one of the first pieces struck from the proof dies as the mint frost on the devices is quite pronounced. The depth of mirrored reflectivity in the fields is unfathomably deep, the combination of both producing a strong two-toned cameo contrast. Both sides also show lovely, light golden-brown patina with an occasional dash of translucent cobalt-blue close to the denticles. Unsurpassable eye appeal at this grade level and quite elusive as a cameo. Population: 6 in 64, 9 finer (10/03).From the Palm Beach Collection. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
