详细说明: Impressive Gem Proof 1882 Silver Dollar 1882 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). This delightful specimen exhibits subtle reddish-gold peripheral toning around otherwise untoned surfaces. Both sides are fully struck with excellent cameo contrast between satiny devices and mirrored fields. The reported mintage for this early Proof issue in the Morgan dollar series is 1,100 pieces, although Q. David Bowers (Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia, 1993) suggests that the actual total might be somewhat higher. In any event, this is a readily obtainable issue by Proof Morgan dollar standards, and most examples possess good field to device contrast, as here. What sets the present specimen apart, however, is the level of surface preservation. With the typical survivor grading no finer than Proof-64, the fleeting bidding opportunity that this Superb Gem represents for the quality conscious collector can hardly be overstated. Provenance: From the Janet Nakushian Collection. NGC Census: 9; 5 finer in this category (Proof-68+ * Cameo finest). PCGS# 87317. NGC ID: 27Z6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
