1882 One Dollar PR Values
Details
Proof 1882 Morgan dollars are beautiful coins, most of which are very well struck and show some degree of cameo contrast. In fact, only a small minority of known survivors do not boast some type of cameo contrast, with most designated as cameos and many boasting deep cameo contrast. While most 1882 proofs are found with nice surfaces and good overall eye appeal, only a small share are known in PR65 or higher; most are known in PR60-64.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $59.40
