1884 Gold Dollar. MS-68 (PCGS). CAC.Our finest offering for the issue in more than a decade, this virtually pristine Ultra Gem really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Silky smooth surfaces are bathed in a blend of vivid orange-gold color and satiny mint luster. Subtle semi-reflectivity is also evident in the fields - very attractive. Fully struck, as well, there is much to recommend this coin to even the most discerning collectors.<p>The 1884 tells the familiar story for circulation strike gold dollars from the 1880s. While only 5,230 pieces were produced, very few (if any) entered commercial channels. Instead, the majority were immediately snatched up by dealers, collectors and other speculators and thereby preserved for later generations of numismatists. Even so, hardly any have come down the present day as close to pristine as this stellar example. An outstanding condition rarity fit for inclusion in the finest cabinet.<p>PCGS# 7585.
