Conditionally Rare 1878 Gold Dollar, MS66 NGC

1878 G$1 MS66 NGC. An issue that is seldom offered as a premium Gem, the 1878 (3,000 business strikes produced) is the rarest post-1875 Gold Dollar after the 1876. The finish is expectantly semi-prooflike for a low mintage Gold Dollar from the late 1870s, and the devices display pinpoint striking definition in all areas. Reddish-gold in color, the surfaces reveal slight counterclockwise die rotation. A few faint lines on each side appear at first glance to be pinscratches, but we believe them to be as struck. We highly recommend that the parties interested in bidding on this piece give it a close in-person examination beforehand. Population: 5 in 66, 0 finer (10/04).(#7579) (Registry values: N2998)
