An estimated 125 proof gold dollars were struck in 1882, reflecting continued growth in the collector market for proof coins. The higher mintage makes the 1882 proof one of the more available proof gold dollars from the 1880s, though "available" remains a relative term for any nineteenth-century proof gold coin produced in three-digit quantity.
Surviving examples appear at auction with greater frequency than the rare 1870s proof dates. Well-preserved coins with cameo contrast between frosted devices and mirrored fields are the most desirable, followed by coins with uniform brilliance. The 1882 proof is a practical starting point for collectors entering the proof gold dollar series.
