1876 $1 Indian Head Gold Dollar PR-65 DCAM PCGS CAC

---

In 1876, the Philadelphia Mint produced an incredibly small run of proof gold dollar coins, with a total mintage of just 45 pieces. This tiny production makes surviving examples of this issue exceptionally scarce. This specific coin has been certified at a high proof grade of PR-65 Deep Cameo, indicating a sharp, frosted contrast between the raised design elements and the highly reflective fields. Struck in 90 percent gold with a weight containing 0.0484 troy ounces of precious metal, this diminutive coin represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. The obverse features the classic Indian Head design, while the reverse displays the denomination of 1 Dollar and the date of 1876. Because it was struck at the main mint in Philadelphia, it bears no mint mark.
