Description
Appealing 1861 Gem Proof Gold Dollar
1861 G$1 PR65 PCGS. The 1861 gold dollar saw a mintage of 349 proofs. This figure is misleading, however, as Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) state that: "... the great majority of them must have been melted." Certified population figures corroborate this assertion, as PCGS and NGC have graded just 34 coins. The peach-gold surfaces of this Gem display strong field-motif contrast, and are devoid of mentionable flaws. A solid strike leaves virtually complete definition on the design elements. Population: 11 in 65, 1 finer (12/08).(Registry values: P4)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25E4, PCGS# 7611, Greysheet# 8121)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
