Description
Magnificent 1885 Gold Dollar, MS68
1885 G$1 MS68 NGC. Despite having a higher mintage than some of the other late gold dollar issues, the 1885 presents a greater challenge than many in high Mint State grades. Any year, however, would be truly remarkable and extremely rare in MS68. Many collectors are forced to wait years before given the opportunity to acquire such a spectacular example, and it is essentially impossible to find a representative any finer. The present specimen is powerfully struck, and the butter-yellow surfaces exhibit vibrant satiny luster throughout. This simply breathtaking representative appears flawless, even under magnification. PCGS has not certified any examples at this level, and NGC reports just three pieces in MS68, with none finer (8/08).
