Delightful 1881 Gold Dollar, MS68

1881 G$1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. Gold dollars of 1881 were apparently saved in large quantities at the time of issue, as evident from the several hundred Mint State examples certified by PCGS and NGC. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) point to a famous hoard of 54 1881 gold coins sold to Paramount Rare Coins by Leo Lindheim, a well-known Cleveland collector and numismatic writer. Of these, 46 are reported to be circulation strikes and eight proofs.
The brassy-gold surfaces of this MS68 example display frosty, exquisitely struck design motifs that stand out against partially reflective fields. Close examination reveals immaculate preservation. These attributes add up to the most delightful eye appeal, aptly recognized by the CAC green label. Population: 38 in 68, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DK, PCGS# 7582, Greysheet# 8044)
