1880 Gold Dollar, MS68
Low-Mintage Superb Gem

1880 G$1 MS68 PCGS. The 1880 gold dollar boasts a minuscule production total of just 1,600 business strike pieces, plus 36 proofs. The enticing tiny mintage figure was known to collectors at the time of issue, and many examples were saved in Mint State grades. In the current market, the date is available in lower Mint State grades, and even Gem specimens are not too difficult to locate, but examples in MS68 condition are rare. The present coin is a delightful Superb Gem, with shimmering fields enhanced by bright orange-gold color. The striking details are sharp throughout, as expected from the grade, and there are no noticeable marks of any kind on the attractive surfaces. Population: 23 in 68, 1 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
