1899 One Dollar PR Values
Details
Among 1899 proof Morgan dollars, cameos don’t constitute the majority of examples but are not categorically rare either – just scarcer than non-CAMs. At least, that is, among the PR64-66 set, while examples grading PR67 or better are indeed rare regardless of cameo designation.
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.
