Description du lot

Lightly frosted design elements are set against mirrored fields on both sides of this vivid golden-yellow specimen. Fully struck with wispy handling marks precluding a Select Proof grade. 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.
