1889 Gold Dollar, Splendid MS68
None Certified Finer

1889 G$1 MS68 PCGS. Just eight examples are certified by PCGS as MS68, with none finer by either PCGS or NGC, making this Superb Gem among the finest of the final-year gold dollars -- a denomination that started out as a workhorse of American commerce, then faded in importance until the last hurrah of 29,000 pieces struck were struck in 1889. The present coin is a candidate for the finest collection, with razor-sharp definition and incredibly deep, frosty luster. Exceptional honey-gold coloration blankets both sides. A few microscopic freckles provide the pedigree markers to identify this jewel-like gold dollar for posterity. Population: 8 in 68, 0 finer (1/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DU, PCGS# 7590, Greysheet# 8052)
