1888 Gold Dollar, PR67
Registry Grade Example

1888 G$1 PR67 PCGS. CAC. JD-1, High R.4. A generous mintage of 1,079 proof gold dollars was accomplished in 1888, with a single die variety known for the date. Attrition is unusually high for this date, as many examples were ordered by jewelers for use in their trade. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 150-225 examples in all grades. The reverse die was also used to strike the business-strike production for this date, making it difficult to distinguish between proofs and prooflike business strikes.

The present coin is a spectacular Superb Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and deeply reflective fields that create some unacknowledged contrast with the frosty devices. The impeccably preserved yellow-gold surfaces are virtually flawless. The outstanding eye appeal is attested by the CAC sticker. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer. CAC: 2 in 67, 0 finer (5/21).(Registry values: P1)
