FROM THE PROSPECT COLLECTION Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer the FINEST CAMEO Proof 1885 gold dollar graded by PCGS. This magnificent jewel is SUPERB in every way and one casual glance will make you fall in love with its quality and stunning visual allure. This amazing SUPERB GEM is remarkably well struck. Every detail is razor sharp in definition on both sides, with a bold, thick frost on Liberty’s portrait. The fields have a wonderful orange peel texture that is so desirable on Proof gold. Both sides show off a rich orange tone that is progressively richer toward the peripheries. In his new work on Proof Gold, John Dannreuther has identified this die pair as JD-2, which is identifiable by the die line coming out of Liberty’s mouth and some die roughness at the ear. One feature he does not mention in the description of the die characteristics are radial lines seen on both sides. At first we thought these were in the dies, but after showing the coin to John Dannreuther, he explained that those were planchet burnishing marks from when the planchet was being prepared prior to striking. JD commented “Guy was a bit overzealous in his job!” PCGS 1, NGC 10, CAC 3. This coin is counted among those graded by NGC, as we recently had it crossed over for our customer, as such, this cannot be the coin that sold in the January 2004 ANR auction for $20,700. The last NGC/CAC coin sold in the 2011 ANA auction for $18,400. A PCGS/CAC PR66 sold in the 2015 ANA auction for $16,450 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $21,500 in PR67 CAM. With its outstanding eye appeal and wonderful high end quality, this impeccable SUPERB GEM will see very strong bidding from type or Proof gold specialists! Cert. Number 36474951 PCGS # 87635
