1882 G$1, DCAM PR (PCGS#97632)

Summer 2025 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: This lovely Deep Cameo Proof was last offered in our (Stack's) December 1973 sale of the Westchester Collection, and was certified for the first time ahead of its current offering. It exhibits deep golden-yellow color on both sides and possesses outstanding eye appeal. Strongly mirrored in the fields, the design elements are set apart with razor sharp striking detail and a bold satin texture.<p>Only 125 Proof gold dollars were struck in 1882, with considerably fewer examples accounted for today. John W. Dannreuther (2018), in fact, accounts for only 50 to 65 survivors in all grades. The author further observes that, of the two die pairings known, JD-1 accounts for the majority of survivors (40 to 50 coins). This is a particularly appealing example that combines absolute and condition rarity and that will appeal to advanced gold enthusiasts.
