Most 1896 proof Morgan dollars exhibit exceptional strike and quality, with the majority showcasing either cameo or deep cameo contrast. Gems are scarce, but examples grading PR67 or higher are rare. A tiny number are found as high as PR69, and these higher-end pieces are coveted by registry set builders.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
