1886 G$1, CAM PR (PCGS#87636)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1886 Gold Dollar. JD-1. Rarity-4. Centered Date. Proof-62 Cameo (PCGS). Frosty design elements are set against mirrored fields on both sides of this flashy specimen. Fully struck with wispy handling marks precluding a Choice Proof grade. A lengthy and dramatic lint mark (as made) on the obverse forms a broad U shape from the left obverse field to Liberty's cheek before the earlobe, the base of the U bisecting Liberty's lower lip. Toward the end of gold dollar production, circulation strike mintages for the denomination were desultory at best, intended primarily to prevent these dates from becoming Proof-only issues. On the other hand, Proof gold dollar production tipped up beginning in 1884 and reached a total of 1,016 specimens in 1886 to help fill orders from jewelers. While many examples were carefully preserved by numismatists, quite a few were mishandled by the public, along with those that were damaged in jewelry. Despite the comparatively healthy production figures, probably little more than 10% remain in numismatic channels today. This is an attractive Proof for the assigned grade that has much to offer the advanced gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS# 87636. NGC ID: 25EW.
