<B>1904 $1 PR67 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: JFS Collection. Just 650 proof dollars were struck in 1904, the lowest proof mintage since 1891, when the same number was made. A goodly number have survived through the near-Gem grade level; PR65 and PR66 specimens are more elusive, and higher-condition pieces are scarce to rare. Most 1904 proofs display little contrast, as the devices were struck from lightly polished, rather than frosty, dies (David Bowers, <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States, </B></I>p. 2656).<BR> The present PR67 example displays a light veneer of variegated cobalt-blue, crimson, and golden-tan toning, with an occasional window or two of brilliance. The design features are well impressed, and the surfaces are impeccably preserved over both sides. The motifs on this particular coin are a tad more frosty than is typical of the issue, thereby rendering more contrast than what might be expected for the date. At any rate, this is an outstanding proof. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
