Low Mintage 1875 Gold Dollar Rarity

1875 G$1 MS 62 NGC. Production of gold dollars at the Philadelphia Mint plummeted from 198,820 pieces in 1874 to a mere 420 coins in 1875. Four hundred pieces of the latter delivery were business strikes, a total that confirms the 1875 as the lowest mintage P-mint issue in the entire gold dollar series. Only 45 business strike 1875 gold dollars are believed extant, most of which grade Mint State. Like all known examples of this issue, the present coin displays a small die scratch in the obverse field below Liberty's chin. There are, however, relatively few abrasions for the grade, and a small planchet flaw (as produced) over Liberty's cheek is noted for accuracy. A noticeably prooflike representative with pleasing reddish-gold color.
