Description
Superb Gem 1871 Gold Dollar
Stunning Prooflike Example
1871 G$1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. As suggested by its low
business-strike mintage of 3,900 pieces, the 1871 gold dollar is an
elusive date in any grade. At the Superb Gem level, examples are
extremely rare. Current population data reveals only six coins have
been certified in MS67 by PCGS, with two finer; while NGC has
graded just three Superb Gem specimens, with three finer (6/10).
The present coin is a breathtaking Superb Gem, with virtually
flawless green-gold fields and extraordinary visual appeal. The
striking details are sharp throughout and the fields are reflective
and prooflike. David Akers relates he purchased this specimen from
the family of a collector who obtained the piece directly from
Wayte Raymond decades ago. It may be years before the opportunity
to own a piece of this quality occurs again.From The Personal Collection of David W. Akers.(Registry values: N4719)
