With a mintage of fewer than 1,000 pieces, 1881 proof Morgan dollars are a gorgeous lot of coins, with most survivors exhibiting cameo contrast. As with the more typical, non-CAM 1881 proof Morgans, the CAMs are generally found in the grade range of PR60-64, with handfuls of specimens each in PR65, PR66, and PR67. PR68s and PR69s are extremely rare and are coveted particularly by registry set collectors. A few DCAMs exist.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
