Lot 658
1883 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded MS-65. Mintage increased in 1883 to a still meager 10,800 pieces for circulation. Somehow several hundred survive in mint state, but not too many survive this nice. Here we have a coin that is graced with full blazing luster and toned with familiar greenish-yellow color attendant to gold coins of this period.
Once again, ERT of LIBERTY is weak, but this time due to die lapping and polishing, as the strike is very sharp on both sides of this coin. Scattered tick marks from an even higher grade, but still one of the 500 or so known from the original mintage.
Estimated Value $1,350 - 1,450.
