<Our item number 102041><B>1868 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded Proof 63 Cameo.</B> Older holder. As many experienced numismatists will remind you, 1868 is by a small margin the scarcest Proof gold dollar from the decade of the 1860s. It is a little scarcer than the 1864 or 1867, as well as being more difficult than the 1865 and 1869 which have identical mintages. Only 12-15 Proofs of this date are believed to exist today from the original mintage of only 25 pieces.<BR><BR>This specimen is sharply struck with a full rim and rim dentils. It has cloudy, lightly to moderately hairlined fields, and attractive medium orange and greenish-gold color. Struck from the same obverse die used for all Proof Gold Dollars from 1862 to 1873. A rare opportunity. <B>Pop 1; 7 finer; 3 in 64; 2 in 65; 2 in 66.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $5,000-5,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 102041<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//102041.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/3 7jpegs//102041N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
