1870 Gold Dollar, PR64
Desirable Low-Mintage Proof

1870 G$1 PR64 PCGS. One of just 35 proofs struck for this date. To be sure, a tiny mintage by any measure, but in reality this proof date is rarer still, since PCGS estimates 17 to 22 survivors in all grades. Only now are collectors realizing the opportunities offered by low population, condition-rarity gold -- especially proof gold, which provides the combination of quantitative rarity and aesthetic appeal. This exquisite gold dollar is a case in point. Highly reflective, its flashy gold surfaces deepen to a slightly deeper orange-gold near the rims. The strike is complete throughout. A few raised die striations are seen on each side. PCGS population is two in 64 and four finer. NGC reports one in 64, one finer (12/13). A wonderful coin combining quality, rarity, and high appeal. Certified in a green-label holder.
