Description

1884 G$1 PR65 PCGS. Doubled Date. Breen-6107. The date displays dramatic doubling under a loupe. The Mint's production of proof Gold Dollars dramatically rose to 1,006 pieces in 1884 from only 207 coins the previous year. Although the former mintage figure suggests that the 1884 is an easily obtainable issue, nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, we believe that no more than 50 examples of this issue are extant, the majority of which grade below the PR65 level. The color is orange-gold in shade and there are no mentionable marks, only a single dark spot in the field between the U of UNITED and Liberty's chin is used as an identifier.
