1896 NGC PF-67 CAMEO. 1896 NGC PF-67 CAMEO.
Lot Title: 1896 NGC PF-67 CAMEO.
Description: Impeccable cameo contrast is a hallmark of the well produced proof silver dollars of the late 1800s, and the dies still had nearly complete retention of their matte texture on the devices when they came together to produces this "superb gem". Moderate frost layers all the design motifs, with only the lowest points of relief ceding to the slivers of brilliant texture that are a necessary part of the life cycle of the dies. Needless to say, the fields are overflowing with radiant brilliance and reflectivity, and the entire coin is lightly tinged in silvery bisque-white. There are simply no obvious post-production defects at normal viewing angles, although what appears at first glance to be a long curving hairline in front of Liberty's face was actually a defect present at the time of striking! A few slightly sintered areas in the reverse fields are similar in origin, having been present on the planchet before it was struck. (PCGS# 087331)
