Description
Extraordinary MS68 1885 Gold Dollar
1885 G$1 MS68 NGC. Despite 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 have to wait years before there is an 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 (12/08). (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DP, PCGS# 7586, Greysheet# 8048)
