详细说明: Captivating Gem Cameo Proof 1887 Silver Dollar 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). A lovely premium Gem with overall smooth and highly appealing surfaces. Lightly toned in smoky silver-olive and sandy-gold, we also note blushes of more vivid reddish-russet here and there around the obverse periphery. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, with an uncommon degree of field to device contrast for an issue that can be challenging to locate with strong visual appeal. While most of the 710 Proof Morgan dollars that the Philadelphia Mint produced in 1887 are extant (per Q. David Bowers, 1993), most are in lower grades through Proof-64. Wayne Miller (The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook) observes that dipped examples often have a "'tired' look" with noticeable hairlines, and further that cameo specimens seldom display significant field to device contrast. Well above average in terms of both surface preservation and eye appeal, this endearing specimen is sure to see spirited bidding among astute Morgan dollar enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection. PCGS Population: 8; with a mere three finer in this category (all Proof-67 Cameo). PCGS has certified no examples of this issue in the Deep Cameo category.
