1884 Superb Gem Brilliant Proof. The variety with a doubled date (Breen-5). The date was first cut...1884 Superb Gem Brilliant Proof. The variety with a doubled date (Breen-5). The date was first cut too low and sloping dramatically upward from left to right. Razor-sharp fully frosty design elements are awash in liquid-glass, orange-peel fields. The surface quality is truly outstanding, as even close examination with a glass reveals only the most trifling of microscopic imperfections. This remarkable specimen is indeed the highest graded Proof Gold Dollar of this date that has been encapsulated by either PCGS or NGC. Furthermore, there is no Proof Gold Dollar of any date from either of these services that surpasses the numerical grade of this coin! A fantastic opportunity for those that demand only the finest to ''flex their muscles'' in the auction room. NGC PF68 Cameo.
