1880 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.This dreamy Superb Gem is untoned apart from the lightest iridescent gold at the rims. A boldly cameoed finish is easily seen, the fields deeply mirrored and supporting frosty design elements. Sharply struck with a silky smooth appearance, there is much to recommend this beautiful specimen to the discerning type or date collector. The Proof mintage for the date of 1,355 pieces represents the high water mark for Proof production in the Morgan dollar series, though no doubt far fewer than that number can be accounted for today. This issue is rare at the Superb Gem level, attesting to the fact that precious few examples were handled with the utmost care by earlier generations of numismatists.
