Description
1874 Gold Dollar, MS68
Among the Finest Certified
1874 G$1 MS68 NGC. A generous mintage of 198,800 gold
dollars was accomplished in 1874, mostly struck on bullion obtained
from worn gold coins of earlier dates that had been returned to the
Mint for recoinage. There was speculation that the government
intended to resume specie payments, which had been suspended since
1861, but no action was taken on that matter until 1878. Many coins
were saved by contemporary numismatists, making the 1874 an
available date and a popular choice of type collectors.Few examples can match the quality and eye appeal of the present coin, which is among the finest-certified examples at either of the leading grading services. The design elements are sharply detailed and the impeccably preserved orange-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster, with hints of rose in selected areas. Eye appeal is terrific. Census: 8 in 68, 0 finer (9/15).(Registry values: N4719)
