Description

Exemplary Superb Gem 1886 Gold Dollar

1886 G$1 MS67 NGC. Another low mintage date, as just 5,000 pieces fell from the dies. That omits the 1,016 proofs struck, many or most of which were made into love tokens, a popular fad of the era. The present coin is neither a proof nor a love token. It is a Superb Gem, and as one should demand from such a grade, the surfaces are lustrous, well struck, and virtually pristine. Lightly toned in caramel shades. Census: 14 in 67, 0 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DR, PCGS# 7587, Greysheet# 8049)
