Notes:
Most Uncirculated examples of this date are MS-63, followed by an equal distribution between MS-62 and MS-64 examples.  Many examples of this date are poorly struck, which explains the rarity of MS-65 and better coins.  Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflike examples are extreme rarities, typical of the O-Mint Dollars issued between 1892 and 1897.  The finest examples certified by PCGS are a single MS-67, 4 MS-64 Prooflikes, and 2 MS-65 Deep Mirror Prooflikes.
