Description
1872 Gold Dollar, MS67
David Akers' Personal Specimen
1872 G$1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. The 1872 gold dollar boasts a
minuscule mintage of 3,500 pieces, low even by gold dollar
standards. Most observed examples of this rare date are in AU or
lower Mint State grades. Superb Gem examples are extremely rare.
Currently, PCGS has certified 10 examples in MS67, with none finer,
while NGC has graded no coins in this grade, with two finer (6/13).
The present coin has boldly impressed devices that contrast starkly
with the reflective, prooflike fields. The lovely greenish-gold
surfaces complement the crisp design elements to create a visual
treat for the discerning collector. David Akers informed us in 2010
that he obtained this coin from the heirs of an old-time collector,
who purchased it directly from Wayte Raymond. The coin had been off
the market for generations.Ex: The Personal Collection of David W. Akers / ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3389, where it brought $14,950.(Registry values: N4719)
