1874 Proof-61 Cameo NGC.
Medium honey gold throughout with deeper golden highlights in the recessed areas. Properly graded with unbroken luster on the design high points, but with a plentiful amount of tiny mishandling ticks and abrasions gathered during 140+ years in the hands of sometimes careless collectors. The cameo contrast is nicely retained despite the chatter in the deep mirror fields. Circulation strikes of the date are plentiful, and examples are commonplace enough that many type collectors select the date to represent the denomination. Proofs, however, are another story. No doubt fewer than the 20 Proofs struck can be accounted for today, but we can account for this specimen. Though maybe not the finest in existence, you wouldn’t turn your nose up at an EF 1804 silver dollar. The same attitude should be taken when confronted by other rarities such as this 1874 Proof three-dollars.
NGC Census: 1; 4 finer within the Cameo Proof designation (Proof-65 Cameo finest).
