Description
Choice AU 1856-D Gold Dollar
First D-Mint Type Three Issue
1856-D G$1 AU55 PCGS. Variety 8-K. Of course, only one die
pairing was required to strike the minuscule production of 1,460
coins for the 1856-D gold dollar, and it is popular as the first
Type Three series issue from Dahlonega. Traces of mint luster
remain on this Choice AU example, and the surfaces are equally
noteworthy for the intermingled reddish-gold and lilac colors
blending throughout each side in an appealing array. A couple of
minor surface marks appear but are undistracting, and the strike is
somewhat soft in the centers, typical for the issue. Heavy die
striations occur on the reverse. Population: 10 in 55, 19 finer
(10/12).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25CC, PCGS# 7543, Greysheet# 8074)
Weight: 1.67 grams
