1886 One Dollar PR Values
Details
Most 1886 proof Morgan dollars exhibit mirrored devices and fields, though a relatively large number – but fewer than half of the survivors – have cameo frosting. A few, perhaps a couple dozen, exhibit true DCAM quality with cameo devices and deep mirrored fields. Most of these 1886 Morgan dollar proofs are found in the PR60-64 range, though there are many Gem survivors and at least a few grading PR67 or higher.
Obverse: 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: 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.
