Lot 1220
1881 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. Philadelphia coined 87 proof gold dollars dated 1881, of these very few remain in gem condition. NGC has only graded 3 coins as such, with a single coin graded higher for the date. Note the lovely coppery-red tones on both sides that have settled into the fields, while the devices remain piled high with snowy frost. Truly, the fields appear icy in their smoothness, and the devices give one the thought that Liberty and her surrounding lettering could slide right off the coin, leaving the perfectly smooth fields behind. Examination notes a few trivial hairlines and handling ticks, none of consequence.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000.
