Description
1873 Gem Proof Gold Dollar
Only 25 Proofs Struck
1873 G$1 Closed 3 PR65 NGC. Although many business-strike
examples were struck using Open 3 dies, all proof 1873 gold dollars
were produced with the earlier Closed 3 punch. The reported mintage
was only 25 pieces, and no more than 9-12 examples are extant today
in all grades, making this issue one of the greatest rarities of
the series. The proof mintage suffered from low production values
in 1873, and poorly finished dies, spaced too far apart, gave many
examples a granular appearance, with significant loss of detail.
This well-detailed Gem shows these effects to a small degree, but
it remains one of the finest surviving examples. The brightly
reflective fields are a pleasing yellow-gold with green highlights
and only minor signs of contact. Census: 2 in 65, 0 finer
(11/12).From The Ives Devos Collection.(Registry values: P8)
