1887 $1 PF-68 CAMEO Gold Liberty NGC TOP POP - PROOF - Ultra Rare

Few times in a coin collector's life are they offered quite a unique opportunity to own such a rare coin. This is the finest know, with none graded higher! 

This exact coin last sold for $30,187 in 2007 by Heritage Galleries. 

1887 G$1 PR68 Cameo NGC. Type Three. The 1887 gold dollar had a high mintage of 1,043 proofs. However, a great many were apparently mishandled before they even left the Mint, and high grade examples are surprisingly scarce. This date is also an absolute scarcity, relative to its mintage, with no more than 175 pieces believed to exist today in all grades. This is currently the highest-graded example of the issue, and the sole specimen to possess the PR68 grade from either of the two major certification services. It is also certain to be one of the most attractive. Frosty in finish with pinpoint striking definition, the devices appear to float atop watery reflectivity in the fields. A pair of tiny planchet flakes are noted on Liberty's chin and just to the left of her earlobe, but these may be too faint to see without the aid of a magnifier. Original honey-gold color envelops both sides.
