Description

Pleasing Select 1872 Proof Gold Dollar

1872 G$1 PR 63 PCGS. The combined business strike and proof mintage of this issue is only 3,530 pieces, and the surviving population of the latter delivery is only 14-15 examples. Uncommonly attractive for the grade, the present example is toned in rich orange-gold patina that is suggestive of originality. Although somewhat hazy, the fields reveal deep reflectivity at most angles. There is a small strike-through (as produced) in the left obverse field, but the surfaces are free of mentionable hairlines and contact marks.
From the Tyler Dillon of Wellesley Collection.
