Description
Glittering Gem Cameo Proof
1886 Gold Dollar
1886 G$1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. Although the Garrett and Guth gold
Encyclopedia makes only oblique reference to it, for details
see the writeup in the Breen Proof Encyclopedia that many
1886 gold dollars show "evidence .. that coins from this period
were handled very carelessly by Mint employees." Due to the large
mintage exceeding 1,000 pieces, however, today proof 1886 gold
dollars are popular type coins.This Gem--a fortunate exception that has been carefully preserved--glitters with all the eye appeal expected of a late-date proof gold dollar issue. The fields are bright yellow-gold and delightfully reflective with moderate orange-peel effect, a great counterpoint to the lightly frosted and razor-sharp devices. Carefully preserved and crisply contrasted, a coin to remember. Population: 5 in 65 Cameo, 4 finer (8/10).
