1873 G$1 Closed 3 MS65 PCGS. Ex: Trompeter. A
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1873 G$1 Closed 3 MS65 PCGS. Ex: Trompeter. A sharply struck lemon-orange Gem with flashy, moderately reflective fields and exceptional eye appeal. Essentially pristine, although an occasional minute planchet flaw (as made) is encountered. Trompeter considered the present piece to be a proof and it was part of his fabulous collection of proof gold coinage. It does match Breen's proof diagnostics, which include an incomplete feather in headdress below the second T in STATES, an open top of the wreath, and a slightly rising date. The date location is seemingly identical to the proof offered in our 2001 FUN Sale as lot 8057. Regardless of its proof or business strike status, this is a very rare Gold Dollar, since only 25 proofs were struck and PCGS has certified a mere four business strikes as MS65 with two finer. Encapsulated in an older green label PCGS holder.Ex: Ed Trompeter Collection (Superior, 2/92), lot 19, cataloged as a proof; Orlando Sale (Superior, 8/92), lot 541; Superior, 5/94, lot 1438; Long Beach Bullet Sale (Heritage, 9/96), lot 572. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
