1868 Gold Dollar, MS68
Tied for the Finest Certified
The Sole Finest CAC Submission

1868 G$1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Breen-6082. Normal Dies. Both dies are perfect with no signs of anomalies. Beginning in 1860, the size of the date on gold dollars was extremely small, although the dates were enlarged gradually through 1867. The 1868 production featured a noticeably larger logotype. The Philadelphia Mint coined 10,500 circulation strike gold dollars in 1868, the highest mintage of any year from 1863 to 1872. The production total was the seventh highest from 1863 to the end of the series in 1889. This lovely Superb Gem 1868 gold dollar displays satiny luster with faint field reflectivity on bright, light yellow-gold surfaces tinged by faint green accents. Both sides are boldly defined, save for slight weakness only outside the upper-left wreath branch. A lint mark at the top right side of the A in STATES nearly reaches the second T of that word.

This MS68 coin is tied with one other for the finest at PCGS, but this is the sole finest example in this grade with the CAC green approval. NGC has graded a single MS68.
