Lot 1251
1887. NGC graded MS-68. Star CAC Approved. A magnificent super gem specimen! Only 7,500 struck. One of the finest survivors from this year and a coin which must be studied to be appreciated. Note the vibrant golden hue throughout, with the fully struck devices on Liberty and the wreath .The fields are reflective and Prooflike, an event which is quite unusual for a business strike gold dollar. Most likely, this coin was one of the early strikes from a new pair of dies. Of paramount concern is the quality of the surfaces. Rarely are coins of this series found so pristine, and precious few sport grades in the MS68 ionosphere. This particular coin is the only 1887 MS68 Star gold dollar to earn this grade from NGC. An outstanding example of this series. Pop 1; none finer at NGC. Tied for the finest graded by both NGC and PCGS (PCGS # 7588) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.
