1884 One Dollar PR Values
Details
The 1884 proof Morgan dollar is generally encountered with cameo contrast, though a great many were also struck without deeply contrasting devices and fields. A very small number are known with deep cameo contrast, and these are rare. As is the case with most proof Morgan dollars, the vast majority grade between PR60-64, with smaller numbers in the Gem range. A small handful grade in the PR67-68 range, with at least graded PR69.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $67.60
