Lot Description

1872 Gold Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS). Satin to semi prooflike in finish, this vibrant Gem also boasts beautiful color in a mostly orange gold hue. Traces of lighter pinkish gold iridescence are also discernible, mostly in the center of the reverse. The strike is full, and the surfaces yield no distracting abrasions or other blemishes. One of just 3,500 circulation strike gold dollars struck in 1872, and a very scarce issue the true rarity of which is still overlooked in wider numismatic circles.
