About this coinHistory

An estimated 50 proof gold dollars were struck in 1867. The proof program at the Philadelphia Mint had become a reliable annual production, with small groups of collectors purchasing each year's offerings. Proof gold dollars were part of the broader proof gold set that included quarter eagles, three-dollar pieces, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles. The 1867 proof gold dollar is scarce, with surviving examples typically showing the careful preservation of dedicated collectors who valued these coins from the moment of purchase.
