1871. PCGS graded Proof 66 Deep Cameo. CAC. PQ. A blazing white deep cameo proof silver dollar. Perfect for the top collectors. Only 960 struck and this one is far and away one of the very finest. Choice examples are scarce enough, but finding a coin so close to the Superb level for a large silver dollar coin is remarkable. Then on top of these amazing attributes, add the Deep Cameo contrast and you have a decided winner! Only handful of the years Proof production ever show this degree of contrast, as the proof dies quickly lost their polish and can no longer create the dramatic effect of the deep cameo or even the cameo contrast. PCGS has only graded 10 examples (at most, with some duplication likely from resubmissions) that have earned their Deep Cameo designation, that's about 1 in every 100 proofs struck this year! Bear that in mind when calculating your bid. Pop 2; 1 finer in 67 for DCAM. (PCGS # 97019) Estimated Value $30,000 - UP
