784The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$2,500.00
1888 PCGS MS-63.
The cameo impression is remarkably convincing, even for an issue that is known to be almost always prooflike. Liberty's portrait and the wreath motif both display exquisite fine matte surface...
785The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,450.00
1888 NGC MS-65.
Type-3 gold dollars of this era sometimes offer prooflike appeal, although this example is semi-prooflike really only on the obverse. Nonetheless, both sides offer lovely, flashing luster that...
786The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,850.00

1888 PCGS MS-66.
This incredible jewel is a delight to behold, and it holds up well even under close examination. Marvelous mint green iridescence twinkles off each side, and the detail is energized with unstoppable...
351The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$800.00
1888 MS-61.
Splendid velvetlike surfaces are exhibited on this next to last year of this denomination. It radiates a orange-gold glow with a meager number of ticks and flecks. The strike is bold with crisp...
