Superlative 1882 Gold Dollar, MS68

1882 G$1 MS68 PCGS. The gold dollar denomination, after the initial flurry of design changes and occasionally large mintages that characterized its first decade and a half, settled into a pattern of mostly token emissions during much of the later 1860s through the early 1880s. Only two issues, the 1873 Open 3 and the 1874, saw six-figure productions, and many yearly totals were in the range of 3,000-7,000 coins.
For 1882 only 5,000 pieces were produced, a nominal amount. Fortunately, collectors and dealers of the era saved some nice examples, an easier proposition than for the larger gold denominations. This superlative MS68 coin is one of eight so certified at PCGS, with none finer (8/09). The golden-orange surfaces are free, as expected, from even the smallest complaint. Bright mint luster and loads of eye appeal make this Superb Gem all one could wish for as a type coin or date example.(Registry values: N4719)
