Not Sold Description
1875 G$1 --Polished--ANACS. MS 60 Details, Net AU 50. From a tiny mintage of only 400 business strikes comes this noteworthy gold dollar. Only several dozen examples of this issue are thought to exist in mint condition. Although this coin is among those Uncirculated survivors, a mild polishing in the past has left the fields of this well struck dollar unnaturally bright and reflective. The tiny "spine" that descends from the throat of Liberty, a diagnostic of Philadelphia's business strikes, is still strong. This date has consistently been at the tops of collector's want lists and demand always outstrips supply. Why not, as it is among the rarest of all late nineteenth century gold issues? No bothersome marks are noted on the mirrored fields and the appearance is far closer to a proof example than a business strike.
