Choice Cameo Proof
1885 Gold Dollar

1885 G$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. CAC. Beginning in 1884, proof gold dollar mintages exceeded 1,000 pieces through the end of the series in 1889. Many if not most of those coins were ordered by jewelers and fashioned into love tokens, a fad of the era that explains the rarity of unimpaired proof survivors. The present exquisite near-Gem has radiant, razor-sharp devices and glassy sun-gold fields. Cherry-red toning adorns the margins. Encapsulated in a former generation holder.(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25EV, PCGS# 87635, Greysheet# 8194)

Weight: 1.70 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
