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.
