1877 Gold $1.00. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, with bold cameo beauty suggesting Gem. The sharpness of the strike is seen in a partial wire rim, full LIBERTY on the headband and magnificently full gleaming red-gold lustre. One of only 3,900 business strikes. Dannreuther-Garrett list 33 appearances of this date at auction over a decade, more than half of which were in distinctly lower grades. Here is a coin that would be difficult to equal on today's quality-conscious market.
