Lovely MS66 1851 Gold Dollar

1851 G$1 MS66 NGC. An influx of California-mined gold increased the relative value of silver, which drove Seated coinage out of circulation. Gold dollar mintage peaked between 1851 and 1853, to replace hoarded silver coins in commerce. Few pieces were saved, however, and Premium Gems are rare today. Boldly struck and nearly pristine with a lustrous straw-gold appearance. Census: 18 in 66, 8 finer (12/09).
