The 1888 gold dollar is not that rare. It's one of the more common dates in the 1880s with an estimated 2,000 survivors. Among those 1,900 are in MS-60 or better.
The late date gold dollars had two sets of customers, coin collectors and hoarders who kept them because of the low mintages and jewlers who used them to make decorative pieces. That's why problem coins like this are not unusual.
