Description
Difficult Gem 1868 Gold Dollar
1868 G$1 MS65 NGC. Gold coins failed to circulate in the years immediately after the Civil War, driven from commerce by unbacked Federal paper money. Thus, only 10,500 gold dollars were struck in 1868, excluding the meager proof mintage of 25 pieces. The present Gem business strike has vibrant luster and an exacting strike. Only a couple of trivial marks on the left obverse field prevent an even finer assessment. Census: 2 in 65, 3 finer (12/09).From The Longfellow Collection.(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25D4, PCGS# 7567, Greysheet# 8030)
