1888 G$1 MS68 PCGS. In 1888, the Philadelphia Mint produced 15,623 business strike gold dollars along with 957 additional Proof examples.

The design elements are well impressed, though portions of Liberty's hair, and the upper parts of the letters RT in LIBERTY, are a touch soft. The surfaces are impeccably preserved, further enhancing the eye appeal of this marvelous coin. Population: 3 in 68, 0 finer (10/04).(#7589) (Registry values: N1)
