 1889 Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated or still finer. Immaculate red-gold lustre glorifies a needle-sharp strike that features a crisply complete incuse LIBERTY on the headband. All lettering and even the leaf veins on the reverse wreath are just as precisely defined. Here is a coin that would be effectively impossible to duplicate, as the 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett auction study includes several Superb examples but no 1889 equal to (much less superior to) this astonishing coin. This example of the final Gold Dollar date is a coin of such quality that will make careful examination a delight. NGC MS68.
