1899 S$1 PR68 Cameo NGC. Of the 846 proofs struck of this issue, none have been certified in finer grades and we seriously doubt that any of the other PR68 examples known can rival the sheer visual appeal of this marvelous coin. Which brings up a curious point: one PR68 has been certified by PCGS, but five have been graded by NGC. This is an unusually high number for a PR68 Cameo, and we have to wonder if this isn't multiple resubmissions of this same coin in hopes of getting a PR69 grade. Close examination of the surfaces makes one realize how this piece just might be a candidate for a PR69 grade. The surfaces are virtually perfect--what appears to be a flaw below the second T in STATES is actually a lint mark. Mostly brilliant, there is just the slightest hint of golden patina around the margins on each side. The fields show unfathomable depth of mirrored reflectivity and the devices are snow-white. In addition to a borderline PR69, this coin is also borderline Deep Mirror Cameo. 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.
