1870 Gold Dollar, MS67, CAC
Ex: Akers

1870 G$1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. From a tiny mintage of 6,335 pieces, the 1870 gold dollar is a scarce-to-rare issue in all grades today. Examples in Superb Gem condition are seldom seen, with PCGS reporting 10 specimens graded in MS67 and just two submissions finer. This magnificent Superb Gem features vibrant, frosty luster on the obverse and reflective, semiprooflike fields on the reverse. Strike definition is needle-sharp, and the coin exhibits strong elements of field-device contrast. Gorgeous eye appeal is confirmed by the CAC sticker. Noted gold specialist David Akers purchased this coin from the family of an old-time collector, who acquired it directly from Wayte Raymond. Opportunities to obtain an example of this quality and pedigree are seldom encountered. Housed in a green label holder.
