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)
