1850-C Gold Dollar, Exceptional MS63
One of the Three Finest Certified

1850-C G$1 MS63 PCGS. Variety 1. The only known variety. The 1850-C has the second lowest mintage figure (6,966 pieces) of any gold dollar struck at the Charlotte Mint, trailing only the 1859-C. From the standpoint of overall rarity, it is tied with the 1859-C as the second rarest gold dollar from this mint.

The present Select example is one of the three finest seen at PCGS and NGC. Rich orange-gold coloration adorns the lustrous surfaces that exhibit sharply struck design elements. Indeed, these are much better-defined than ordinarily seen, including the hair near the eye and ear and the radial star lines, elements often seen flat. Both sides are minimally marked for the issue and the designated grade. In fact, any specimen relatively free of marks is quite rare. Consequently, this coin displays well above-average eye appeal. Population: 1 in 63, 0 finer (11/13).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25BG, PCGS# 7510, Greysheet# 8057)
