Description
Superb Gem 1853 Gold Dollar
Sharply Struck, Originally Toned
1853 G$1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Seated silver coins were hoarded
from circulation during the early 1850s, since their bullion
content exceeded face value. The Philadelphia Mint responded to the
coin shortage by striking millions of gold dollars. Mintages peaked
in 1853, the year silver coin was finally reduced in tenor. The
1853 is a plentiful type coin in lower Mint State grades, but
Superb Gems are very rare. The present lustrous example displays
green-gold and peach toning. The strike is full except on a few
outer star points. Population: 6 in 67, 5 finer (11/11).Ex: James Mossman Collection (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 3987, which realized $16,100.
