1884 Gold Dollar, MS68+
Ex: Duckor, High Condition Census

1884 G$1 MS68+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Morgan dollar production continued to occupy the largest presses at the Philadelphia Mint, and double eagles, normally produced on those same presses, were issued only in proof format during 1884. Meanwhile, 5,230 circulation strikes and 1,006 proofs were coined of the gold dollars. It is believed that jewelers used most of the proofs in their wares. Only a small number of proofs were sold to collectors. Contemporary sources within the Mint stated that there were no 1884 gold dollars coined for circulation.

The Simpson coin displays a crescent of rich copper-rose toning that resides inside the obverse border through AMERICA. This lovely Superb Gem 1884 gold dollar displays reflective fields and brilliant satin luster with essentially perfect surfaces. It is one of only two in MS68+ at PCGS, seconded by five in MS68, with one MS69 finer (11/21). In our Duckor catalog, Doug Winter wrote, "This is the single finest 1884 gold dollar I have ever seen, and it was once graded MS69 by NGC. I bought it from dealer Jason Carter in 2014 with the intention of selling it to a type collector but mentioned it to Steve Duckor, who quickly bought it from me after I raved about its quality." CAC: 3 in 68, 1 finer (12/21).
