1881 G$1 Gold Dollar CACG MS66

Presenting an exceptional 1881 Gold Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint, certified MS66 by CACG and approved by CAC for superior quality within the grade. This Gem Uncirculated Type 3 gold dollar offers blazing mint luster, razor-sharp devices, and wonderfully clean fields—exactly the combination serious collectors seek in a late 19th-century U.S. gold issue.

Struck during the waning years of the denomination, the 1881 is a desirable late-date Philadelphia piece from a period when gold dollars were produced in limited quantities, largely to satisfy collector demand. Designed by James B. Longacre, the Type 3 motif (introduced in 1856) features the refined Liberty portrait with a feathered headdress and an elegant agricultural wreath—hallmarks that are crisply rendered here thanks to the coin’s impressive strike.

This MS66 example stands out for its superb eye appeal: satiny surfaces, strong cartwheel luster, and minimal contact mark activity. CAC approval affirms that the coin meets a premium standard for the assigned grade, making it a compelling addition to a high-end type set, a date/mint run of gold dollars, a CAC-focused collection, or any curated selection of pre-1933 U.S. gold.
