While roughly half of the surviving 1888 proof Morgan dollars bear cameo devices and reflective fields, perhaps fewer than 20 qualify as true DCAMs. The balance of the 1888 proof Morgan dollars are mostly nice coins but lack the desirable cameo contrast. Gems are scarce, and pieces grading PR67 or higher are very rare.
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.
