From an original mintage of 193, perhaps 120-140 survive today in all grades. In depth research by John Dannreuther shows that just one die pair was utilized for the issue. This CHOICE example is typical for the date with the devices showing no frosting. The fields show deep mirrors with a lovely orange-peel effect visible under a strong glass. Brilliant medium gold throughout with traces of more coppery-orange hues that cling to the peripheries and among the protected outlines of the devices. Any tiny line is totally unobtrusive and cannot be detected with the naked eye, and the initial look is that of a higher grade (we would not be shocked if it came back at least a "+" if resubmitted - no guarantees). PCGS 27, NGC 18, CAC 4. Only one CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction, an NGC/CAC coin that sold nearly a decade ago for $4,888. More recently a non-CAC PCGS graded coin sold for $4,560 in October 2018, and is NOT this coin. The current PCGS value is listed at $5,200. This is a very neat coin for anyone looking for an affordable Proof gold piece! Cert. Number 34873724 PCGS # 7928
