1850-C Gold Dollar, MS62
A Potential Condition Census Coin

1850-C G$1 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. The 1850-C is one of the scarcer gold dollars from the Charlotte Mint. Only 6,966 pieces were produced, and the typical survivor is only VF or XF. Almost Uncirculated pieces are scarce, and Mint State pieces are rare. Probably only five to 10 coins exist in Mint State, from a total of 150 to 250 coins in all grades.
This lower-Condition Census coin is tied with at least three other pieces at the MS62 level. The fields are bright with a glimmer of semireflectivity on each side. Both obverse and reverse lack the granularity often seen, and both sides show pronounced reddish patina. The devices are sharply struck also. Identifiable by a horizontal die flaw just to the left of the middle of the 1 on the reverse. Population: 4 in 62, 1 finer (12/09).
