1883 $1 Indian Head Gold MS-68 PCGS

---

In 1883, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of just 10,800 gold one-dollar coins. Strikingly small yet crafted from 90 percent pure gold, these delicate pieces represent a fascinating era of American currency. Because they do not carry a mint mark, we know they originated from the historic Philadelphia facility, which was responsible for the nation's primary coinage production. This specific coin has survived the decades in an astonishing state of preservation. It has been officially graded as Mint State 68 (MS-68), an incredibly high assessment that indicates it remains almost exactly as it appeared the day it fell from the coining press. The encapsulation ensures its exceptional physical condition is protected for future generations to study. The reverse of the coin clearly displays the denomination of 1 DOLLAR alongside the year 1883. Containing approximately 0.0484 troy ounces of gold, this tiny treasure offers a vivid window into late nineteenth-century craftsmanship, surviving in a condition that very few coins from this era ever achieve.
