Lot 2031
Blazing White Gem 1898 Proof Morgan. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Sharp contrast between heavily frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields. Liberty's cheek and neck are pristine, possessing softly shifting velvety luster. As is to be expected, all details on the obverse and reverse are fully brought up by multiple impressions of the dies. For the Cameo designation, we would have to say this specimen is far above average! Mint records indicate that 735 proofs were produced this year, near the average number for this decade, but only a handful exist in this technical grade combined with the Cameo designation. NGC population of 9 in PR66CAM, 2 in PF67CAM and 5 in PF68CAM.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
