1881 Gold Dollar, MS68
Pristine and Problem-Free

1881 G$1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. The 1881 gold dollar issue is well known for its overall quality. According to the 2008 second edition of Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933 by Garrett and Guth:

"There are at least 100 examples of the date that have been graded superb MS-67 or better. More examples of this date than any other have reached the MS-69 level. It is obvious that 1881 gold dollars were saved in significant quantities at the time of issue."


This remarkable example, among the finest at PCGS, displays a beautifully frosty appearance over pristine, honey-gold and greenish surfaces. The design elements are crisply reproduced, and problems of any kind are simply nonexistent. Population: 37 in 68, 0 finer (11/11).(Registry values: N4719)
