Most 1896 proof Morgan dollars exhibit exceptional strike and quality, with the majority showcasing either cameo or deep cameo contrast. Gems are scarce, but examples grading PR67 or higher are rare. A tiny number are found as high as PR69, and these higher-end pieces are coveted by registry set builders.
