SOLD
SKU
2604154004
This is a truly stunning example of a proof cameo Morgan dollar. Besides its dramatic cameo contrasts, this piece has the razor-sharp strike that proof Morgans are known for. Out of its original mintage of 1,355, only 137 have been graded and designated Cameo by NGC. And from those, there are a mere 2 in PR66+CAM, with 40 finer (as of 5/2021). The coveted CAC sticker gives this specimen even more cachet. This is the kind of coin that is found in the finest collections of Morgan dollars. For the sophisticated numismatist with the available resources, owning a coin such as this will have him or her beaming with pride for years to come.

There is much romance about the Wild West, the shootout at the O.K. Corral, and other western lore associated with Morgan dollars. Did Wyatt Earp have silver dollars in his pocket when he stopped by the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, in 1881? It is very possible. Did "Pawnee" Bill, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Chief Sitting Bull, Billy the Kid, Annie Oakley, or Frank Butler pay for a drink, or provisions, or an article of clothing in the Rockies during the late 1800s? If so, the distinctive clang of a Morgan dollar was heard as it was dropped onto a wooden bar or store counter. Piles of silver dollars sat at the gaming tables in Rhyolite, Tincup, Silver Reef and other gambling towns that dotted the Wild West. In banks, bordellos, and bistros in Helena, Cheyenne, San Francisco, and Denver, cashiers nonchalantly handled silver dollars each and every day.
