1866 Gold Dollar, MS67+ Prooflike
Beautiful Mirrored Surfaces

1866 G$1 MS67+ Prooflike PCGS. Ex: Simpson. After specie payments were halted in 1862, gold dollar production fell to token amounts each year, usually just a few thousand pieces. That included 7,100 coins in 1866. Gold was unseen in circulation, so it is little surprise to find a fair number of them survive in Mint State. Eighty-six of the 108 submissions at PCGS are Uncirculated. Those coins are fairly evenly spread out from MS61 to MS67, with most in MS63 to MS65, as expected.

This Plus-graded Prooflike Superb Gem enjoys rich golden-yellow color. A layer of thick mint frost resides over the devices, which contrast nicely against the surrounding mirrors. Strongly detailed throughout and undeniably contrasted. This coin had formerly boasted CAC approval as MS67+ but it lost the green sticker in the regrading process. CAC has not yet had a chance to review the coin as MS67+ Prooflike. This is the only 1866 submission at PCGS to have received a formal Prooflike designation (9/20).
