This Superb Gem should be seen to be fully appreciated. Exceptionally vivid toning in powder blue, light pink, pale blue and rose-orange dances across vibrant satin surfaces. Fully struck and expertly preserved -- to see this beautiful coin is to admire it.By the 1880s, the gold dollar was sought more for jewelry and as gifts than as an instrument of commerce. The 5,000 coins of this denomination were produced solely to prevent it from becoming a Proof-only issue. Numismatists were also attracted to the series and many coins were acquired by collectors and dealers alike. While around 20% of the entire mintage are estimated to survive, 1886 gold dollars are not as often encountered as some of the other issues from the era. A select number of Gem specimens are available for collectors, but there are comparatively few that rate as Superb Gem and even fewer still with eye appeal outstanding enough to warrant CAC approbation. An important addition to any 19th century gold cabinet. ,,PCGS# 7587. NGC ID: 25DR.,PCGS Population: 6; with a single MS-67+ finer.,
