<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25262705, member: 101855&quot;]I have to post this one. It&#039;s the only &quot;old Proof gold coin&quot; I have in my collection. The Type III gold dollars have the highest Proof mintages of any gold coin from 1884 to 1889. It is my understanding that jewelers liked to use them in their creations. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Proof mintage for the 1883 gold dollar was 207. After that the mintages exceeded 1,000 per year. That is high for old (pre 1933) Proof gold. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1611590[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
