Owner's Description

1876 G$1 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. The date slants noticeably down and to the right, as seen on all legitimate proof strikings of this date. However, such diagnostics are mere trivialities on this piece as it is such an obvious proof. The fields show unfathomable depth of reflectivity and the devices are heavily frosted, which give the coin its Ultra Cameo designation. As stated in the description for the PR64 above, only 45 proofs were struck of the 1876 gold dollar. This is among the finest examples certified of this important date. Two other PR66 coins have been graded by NGC, and only one piece is finer, an NGC-certified PR67. This wonderfully preserved proof is unhairlined, and when thinking of the 100 year anniversary of the founding of the United States and only 3200 business strikes, the rarity and importance of this coin can not be underestimated. 1 finer in 67* ultra cameo
