Not Sold Description
1880 Gold Dollar, MS68
Extraordinary Type Coin
1880 G$1 MS68 NGC. For type purposes, few dates are better
suited among Type Three gold dollars than the 1880. The issue had a
paltry mintage of just 1,600 coins, but many examples were saved by
dealers and speculators, making this one of the more plentiful
late-series issues in high grades. Even in MS67, this date is
moderately obtainable, and only in MS68 does it truly become rare.
The present example is a remarkable piece, showcasing deeply
reflective orange-gold fields that contrast nicely with the frosty,
razor-sharp devices. Close scrutiny with a loupe fails to reveal
even minor flaws, giving this piece exemplary eye appeal. Census:
22 in 68 (3 in 68 ★ ), 1 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DJ, PCGS# 7581, GSID# 8043)
