1889 Gold Dollar. MS-68 (PCGS). The 1889 is one of the most plentiful dates in the gold dollar series, and is highly popular as a final-year type coin. However, only a paltry 10 examples are certified by PCGS as MS-68, the current coin among them. The strike is bold and the satiny yellow-gold surfaces are seemingly free of even the slightest imperfection. Superb!
