1887 Gold Dollar, MS66+ Prooflike
Sole Prooflike Coin at PCGS

1887 G$1 MS66+ Prooflike PCGS. Many 1887 gold dollars are semiprooflike, a product of the low 7,500-coin mintage, however, examples with deep enough mirroring to warrant a Prooflike designation are moderately scarce. Until recently, only NGC awarded Prooflike designations to Mint State gold dollars, and that service lists 41 such pieces in all grades, including three Premium Gems and six Superb Gems finer. PCGS has thus far only designated a single 1887 gold dollar Prooflike, the present MS66+ example (12/19). The coin is fully struck and bright yellow-gold in color, with start cameo contrast. A thin line in the planchet from Liberty's brow to the first S in STATES is mint made. Population: 1 in 66 (1 in 66+) Prooflike, 0 finer (12/19).
