1901 One Dollar PR Values
Details
The 1901 proof Morgan dollars are usually found with reflective but not necessarily mirror-like fields and with little to no cameo contrast on the devices and other raised design elements. Cameos are scarce, while examples grading PR65 or higher are categorically rare. Any DCAMs are exceedingly rare and command huge premiums.
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.
