Introduction of Coins
Two die marriages are known for the proof silver dollars of 1865, with a like number of reverses sharing a common obverse die. The great majority of 1865 proofs are from Marriage OC-P2, with OC-P1 being extremely rare. It's interesting to note that the reverse used for OC-P2 was subsequently used to create restrikes of the coveted 1851 dollar. A fair number of gems are known for this issue, along with very limited numbers of Cameo and even Ultra Cameo specimens.Read More
