The 1875 proof gold dollar shares the year's extraordinary mintage of 420 coins with the circulation strikes. Approximately 20 of the 420 are believed to have been proofs, making this one of the rarest proof gold dollars. The distinction between the two formats has been debated for decades. Many coins originally sold or described as proofs have been reclassified as business strikes under modern grading standards, and the populations remain fluid as certification services examine and re-examine surviving examples.
A PR66 Deep Cameo sold for $61,688 at Heritage in January 2013. The 1875 proof gold dollar is a major rarity by any measure, and the year's overall scarcity (420 total coins) ensures that collectors face a substantial challenge regardless of which format they pursue. The proof represents the absolute peak of rarity in the proof gold dollar series.
