Lot Description

1889 Gold Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. With vivid golden-apricot color, this smooth and lustrous Gem gold dollar makes a lovely impression. Circulation strike gold dollar production edged up slightly to 28,950 pieces in 1889, for what proved to be the final year of the denomination as a circulating coin. Examples were saved in significant quantities by contemporary collectors and others with an interest in owning a representative of this discontinued series. As popular now as it was then, the 1889 is often selected for inclusion in high grade gold type sets. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of October 1971, lot 729. Collector tag with provenance notation included. PCGS# 7590. NGC ID: 25DU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
