An estimated 1,016 proof gold dollars were produced in 1886. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated that October, and proof coins from 1886 carry the historical association of a landmark year in American iconography. Two Liberties appeared on American gold that year: the colossal figure in New York Harbor and the diminutive Indian Princess on the one-dollar coin, both representing the nation's ideals in dramatically different scales.
The 1886 proof is available in sufficient quantity for collectors to be selective about quality. Well-struck examples with deep mirrors and frosted devices represent the design at its finest. Certified examples appear at major auctions throughout the year.
