Description

1854-S G$1 MS63 NGC. The inaugural year of the San Francisco Mint led to two great numismatic rarities, the 1854-S half eagle and quarter eagle. The 1854-S gold dollar is collectible, and has a low mintage of 14,632 pieces. The issue was likely coined to help meet a local need for small denominations, since no silver was struck at the facility that year. The present example has scintillating luster and lovely apricot toning. No marks are consequential, and the strike is sharp throughout. Census: 5 in 63, 9 finer (12/09).
