1887 $1 Indian Head Gold MS-68 PCGS CAC
In 1887, the Philadelphia Mint struck a limited run of just 7,500 gold dollar coins. This tiny denomination, minted in 0.900 fine gold, contains a mere 0.0484 troy ounces of precious metal, making it one of the smallest gold issues in United States history. Because it carries no mintmark, we know it originated from the historic Philadelphia facility. This specific specimen has survived in an extraordinary state of preservation, certified at the lofty grade of Mint State 68 (MS-68). The obverse features the iconic Indian Head design, while the reverse clearly displays the denomination of "1 DOLLAR" alongside the year "1887". To find a coin of this age and delicate size with such pristine surfaces offers a rare glimpse into the finest minting standards of the late nineteenth century.
