Prized 1875 Gold Dollar Rarity
Mintage: 400 1875 Gold Dollar MS-60 Details – Scratched – ANACS. Fully prooflike in appearance, as are most of the known 1875 gold dollars; the dies barely had a chance to wear when production was stopped for the year at just 400 pieces. Lively golden-orange throughout with plenty of luster to go around -- strong in the fields, and unbroken on the sharp design high points. Diagnostic “spike” from underside of Liberty’s jawline into field; this mark is found on circulation strikes alone and not on Proofs of the date. Obviously scratched on purpose in the obverse field before and behind Liberty’s portrait; the reverse has fared much finer and is readily a notch or two farther up the grading scale than the obverse is to our eyes. Though disfigured at some long-ago point – perhaps it is an intended love token, signifying romance gone awry – this is still an affordable example of a date for which there just are not that many “fillers” to go around. Please bid accordingly. Housed in an old-style small-sized ANACS holder.
From Heritage’s sale of February, 2006, lot 2569.
