<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5323899, member: 101855&quot;]Here is the one on my set. It is a PCGS MS-65.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225003[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1225004[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The gold dollars in the 1880s have low mintages, but the survival rates were high too. Many of them were saved and most are in high grade. Proof-likes (though rarely mentioned on the slab) are not unusual because the mintages were low. The dies didn&#039;t get a chance to have the initial polishing worn off of them. If the OP is genuine, it&#039;s no better than AU-55 or 58. I don&#039;t know that it would be the easiest coin to resell, especially since it has not been graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are two more.</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1880 gold dollar is NOT a Proof. It it were a Proof, it would be a big deal because the mintage was 36 pieces. It would be worth a lot more money. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1225010[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This 1883 gold dollar IS a Proof with the Cameo designation. The Proof mintage for this year was 207. In 1884 the Proof mintage went up to over a thousand every year for the rest of the series. That is high for an &quot;old gold&quot; Proof coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1225008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
