1889 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded MS-67. Lovely toning and frosty. With the 1889 gold dollar production of this denomination came to an end. Only 28,950 circulation strikes were made, yet oddly, there was increased collector interest, possibly from those with knowledge that the series was ending. A fair number of lovely gems like this were held aside. Today, a Superb Mint State 67 gold dollar attracts attention wherever it goes, whether into a gold Type Set or a date set of these artistic coins. What a fitting conclusion to this gold dollar section. Pop 185; 15 in MS-68. (PCGS # 7590) .
During the period this coin was current, President Grover Cleveland held his first term of office as President, 1885-89. The Baby Ruth candy bar was named after Cleveland's baby daughter, Ruth at this time.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
