High-End 1870-S Gold Dollar, MS63

1870-S G$1 MS63 NGC. The obverse of this splendid coin on its own is suggestive of a finer grade, and even on the reverse there is little to quibble over, save for a few minuscule dark toning spots visible only under a loupe. The 1870-S has long been recognized as a rarity, and it is doubly popular as the last branch mint gold dollar (and the first S-mint gold dollar since the 1860-S). Deep, consistent orange-gold coloration and a bold strike make this piece a delight. High-end and pleasing! Census: 5 in 63, 7 finer (4/08).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25D7, PCGS# 7570, Greysheet# 8087)
