Not Sold Description
1877 Gold Dollar, MS68 Prooflike
Tied for the Finest Known
A Major Condition Rarity
1877 G$1 MS68 Prooflike NGC. The 1877 gold dollar is usually
available in Mint State, despite a small mintage of 3,920 pieces.
However, Superb Gem examples are rarely offered, and MS68 coins are
at the top of the ladder. PCGS has seen three pieces in MS68 and
NGC 10. Two of the NGC examples are set above the rest by a
Prooflike designation (11/16). Here offered is one of those top two
coins. Fully struck motifs offer appreciable cameo contrast on each
side, boasting thick, frosty luster against the mirrored surfaces
of the fields. Both sides are rich orange-gold, but the reverse has
a hint of lavender along the lower-right wreath branch. No surface
abrasions are witnessed. This is the sort of type coin that most
collectors only dream of having a chance to acquire.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DF, PCGS# 77578)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
