I agree it looks MS66 easily. Actually it is hard to see any flaws in the images.

since I am consistently over grading your coins, I'm going with MS65 even though it looks 66.  |

I think this is a proof, not PL. Whether Proof or Mint State, it's 66 all day long and every Sunday too.

Last of its kind? I thought they stopped minting this variety in 1889 not 1881.
Anyhow, very nice coin. I'll say MS-66.

Incredible luster and sharpness. Hard to see how it can be less than MS-66.

Anything that high grade is tough to determine with pics. I'll go ahead and say it....... 67!!

I fixed that. I met to say the gold dollars of the 1880s were the last of their kind. |

Certainly no less than MS66.

NGC graded this 1881 gold dollar MS-67. It has a green CAC sticker. When I was shopping for a type coin at a Baltimore coin show, I saw four 1881 gold dollars on the floor graded MS-67 from both PCGS and NGC. This one was the best in my opinion.

MS-67 with a green CAC sticker WOW! I do need a $1.00 Dollar gold for my 7070. Billjones could you tell us what you paid. That way I can justify the one I hope to buy ( in a much lower price ) to my wife why I'm not crazy.  Edited by bpoc1

Billjones could you tell us what you paid. I usually do not give out exact numbers, but an MS-67 Type III gold dollar from the 1880s era sells for between $4,000 and $5,000. A conservatively graded MS-65 is a better buy at $1,200 to $1,500. There are a lot of nice 1889 gold dollars around. I bought this one years ago. It's only in an MS-64 holder. Grade-flation is now turning some of these coins into MS-66 and 67 pieces.   |
