<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3894160, member: 101855&quot;]Some collectors are drawn to the 1880 gold dollar because it has a mintage of 1,600 pieces. The coin is also quite beautiful in the top grades because of the low mintages. The dies were fresh a well polished when these coins were struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet, the low mintage does not tell the whole story. The survival rate was quite high. &quot;Coin Facts,&quot; which tends to post survival estimates on the low side, estimates that there are 1,000 survivors. Nine hundred and seventy-five of those survivors are thought to be in MS-60 or better. A surprising 650 of those pieces are said to be in MS-65 or better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a nice example. It&#039;s a pretty coin, but not as rare as it might seem to be. This one is in an Old Green Label PCGS MS-65 holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1027078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1027079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
