1880 Gold Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). This piece is a truly gorgeous Superb Gem Type III gold dollar, lively and frosty in finish, with both sides revealing modest semi-reflectivity in the fields. The color is exquisite with pinkish-rose highlights on dominant golden-orange. A razor sharp strike and virtually pristine appearance round out the attributes for this beautiful coin. With only 1,600 pieces produced, the 1880 has the lowest mintage among circulation strike gold dollars from the Philadelphia Mint excepting only the fabled 1875. However, the 1880 is obtainable today as many were obtained by numismatists at the time of issue. Contemporary numismatic interest in low mintage circulation strike gold dollars began in earnest in 1879, and continued through the series' end in 1889, explaining the overall availability of issues such as the 1880 and the generally high quality of many of the survivors. Even so, this MS-67+ example is a distinct cut above the norm, and it numbers among the finest examples known to PCGS. It will be equally well suited for high grade type or date purposes.
