1887 G$1 PR (PCGS#7637)

The Summer 2022 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1887 Gold Dollar. JD-2. Rarity-5. Low Date. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC. Offered is a particularly desirable example of a rare classic U.S. Mint Proof gold issue. Thoroughly PQ, its originally preserved medium-gold surfaces also reveal subtle pale rose highlights. The finish is semi-reflective in the fields, frosty on the design elements, the latter with full detail from an expert strike. Smooth in hand with eye appeal to spare, even the most discerning collector will be impressed by this gorgeous upper end Gem. This late date Proof gold dollar issue was produced to the extent of 1,043 pieces using two die pairings. The more common in numismatic circles, JD-1, was also used to coin the 7,500 circulation strikes of the date. It has the date centered in the field between DOLLAR and the ribbon, and is represented by an extant population of 125 to 200 coins (per John W. Dannreuther, 2008). The Low Date JD-2 die pairing, however, is far rarer with only 30 to 50 coins believed extant. This issue as a whole is scarce, of course, and the present offering represents a particularly important opportunity for the advanced numismatist, be their focus on quality or underrated varieties. Provenance: From the Pacific Rim Collection. PCGS Population: 8; 2 finer in this category (Proof-67+ finest). CAC Population: 4; 1. PCGS# 7637. NGC ID: 25EX.
