Description
Underrated 1877 Gold Dollar
PR65 Cameo
1877 G$1 PR65 Cameo NGC. CAC The gold dollar proofs of 1877
were struck in the tiny recorded amount of 20 pieces, and we would
be surprised if 15 separate coins survive today -- possibly no more
than 13. This is despite the 22 submissions at NGC and PCGS
combined -- more than the original mintage, a figure obviously
riddled with duplications. Garrett and Guth write that "the date is
very rare in any grade of true Proof," and the present PR65 Cameo
is the only such at NGC, although that service shows three in PR66
Cameo along with two in PR65 Ultra Cameo (one with a Star) and
three in PR66 Ultra Cameo (one also with a Star). Again, these
grading events are highly suspect as being all different
coins.This Gem proof shows blatant contrast over orange-gold surfaces that show few signs of contact, although the CA in AMERICA are softly struck, apparently as made at the Mint. The strike otherwise is bold, and this piece boasts generous eye appeal. As one of the nicest survivors of this extremely underrated issue, this piece should see spirited bidding at auction.
