Gem $8550 New May 1! Gem Original, Quito Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. Given its mintage of 1.2 million, 1888 strikes are often seen as a type piece for the San Francisco mint. Overall strike quality is on the above average side for the Type 2 hubs that present low relief motifs. At the superb gem level, populations are limited with 10 at MS66 and a single MS66+, which is offered here courtesy of the Quito Collection. Frosted surfaces are painted with light rose tints while the overall eye appeal is fantastic. Strike is complete with bold stars and detailed motifs. Granular frosted surfaces are essentially unabraded with a hint of luster breaks in the right obverse field. That is why this piece is not a '67. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.
