With a scant mintage of just 1,920 pieces, the 1883 is a very tough Philadelphia Mint issue that many consider a key date. Elusive in all grades, PCGS reports just two finer than the present offering! Almost all examples have prooflike surfaces as they likely were minted from the same dies as the very scarce proof issues. Indeed, direct lighting calls forth bold prooflike luster from the fields on both sides of this beautiful survivor. Warmly toned with reddish accents at the borders and crisply defined throughout, a truly captivating piece to view in hand! An exciting offering, sure to catch the eye of astute gold collectors. - Liberty Head $2.5
