1882 Gold Dollar. JD-1. Rarity-5. Centered Date. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.This lovely Gem Proof exhibits a blend of deep gold and warm rose on both sides, the reverse a bit more vivid than the obverse. Well mirrored in the fields, the design elements are set apart with razor sharp striking detail and a bold satin texture.<p>Only 125 Proof gold dollars were struck in 1882, with considerably fewer examples accounted for today. John W. Dannreuther (2018), in fact, accounts for only 50 to 65 survivors in all grades. The author further observes that, of the two die pairings known, JD-1 accounts for the majority of survivors (40 to 50 coins). This is a particularly appealing example that combines absolute and condition rarity in a package that will appeal to advanced gold enthusiasts.<p>PCGS# 87632.
