Description
1857-C G$1 AU50 PCGS. The strike is slightly weak, with the 8 in the date in low relief. There are parallel wispy abrasions below the bust. Douglas Winter in his Charlotte gold reference notes that "I have seen a number with what appear to be strips of roughness around the head of Liberty." This example has those strips, the cause of which is probably mint-made but can only be speculated. Only 13,280 pieces were struck. A scarce and coveted issue in better circulated grades, as Uncirculated specimens are extremely rare.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25CE, PCGS# 7545, GSID# 8076)
