1850-D Gold Dollar, MS62
Very Scarce Type One in Mint State

1850-D G$1 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-C. The rarity of 1850-D gold dollars has changed little in the past 10 years. It is still one of the rarer Type One Dahlonega issues in high grades, with perhaps no more than six to eight Uncirculated pieces known according to the Doug Winter reference (although that number may be conservative given the number of Mint State grading events). Just 8,382 pieces were struck, from which an estimated 125 to 150 pieces survive in all grades.

This example displays pleasing greenish-gold surfaces that are partially prooflike on both sides. Light abrasions and grade-consistent delicate lines are visible under a loupe. Liberty's hair strands are perhaps sharper than most 1850-D gold dollars and the milling is characteristically weak on both sides. Luster gleams from the reflective surfaces. We note a tiny circular dig on the reverse near 1 in the denomination and light die clashing on both sides. CAC endorsed. Population: 3 in 62, 2 finer. CAC: 1 in 62, 1 finer (11/16).(Registry values: N7079)
