Description du lot

Lovely near-Gem surfaces are fully struck with a pleasingly smooth appearance. Vivid golden-yellow color and subtle field to device also grace both sides, further enhancing the appeal of this desirable specimen. This mintage of 1,079 pieces is generous for a Proof gold dollar and, indeed, the 1888 is among the more available issues of its type. The great collector Virgil Brand is said to have owned 10 examples of this date at one time. In an absolute sense, of course, all classic U.S. Mint Proof gold coins are scarce to rare. Premium quality near-Gems, such as this, are in great demand from today's quality conscious numismatists.
