Gold Dollars
1877 G$1 MS68 Prooflike NGC. The 1877 gold dollar is usually available in Mint State, despite a small mintage of 3,920 pieces. However, Superb Gem examples are rarely offered, and MS68 coins are at the top of the ladder. PCGS has seen three pieces in MS68 and NGC 10. Two of the NGC examples are set above the rest by a Prooflike designation (11/16). Here offered is one of those top two coins. Fully struck motifs offer appreciable cameo contrast on each side, boasting thick, frosty luster against the mirrored surfaces of the fields. Both sides are rich orange-gold, but the reverse has a hint of lavender along the lower-right wreath branch. No surface abrasions are witnessed. This is the sort of type coin that most collectors only dream of having a chance to acquire.
