- Beautiful Gem Cameo Proof 1888 Gold Dollar 1888 Gold Dollar. Proof-65+ Cameo (PCGS). A bright khaki-gold specimen with impressively mirrored fields, this Gem Proof is among the finest survivors of the issue. The frosty devices impart a considerable cameo contrast that undoubtedly approaches a coveted Deep Cameo designation on the reverse. With stunning eye appeal and pristine surfaces, this high end Gem is sure to please advanced Proof gold type and date collectors alike. This issue's mintage of 1,079 pieces is generous for a Proof gold dollar and, indeed, the 1888 is among the more frequently encountered issues of its type in numismatic circles. The great collector Virgil Brand is said to have owned 10 examples of this date at one time. However, in an absolute sense, this issue remains quite scarce, with just about 250 examples thought to remain. The present specimen is among the finest certified and belongs in an advanced gold cabinet. PCGS# 87638. NGC ID: 25EY. PCGS Population: 2; 10 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Cameo).
