Bold, Lustrous 1851-C Gold Dollar, MS65

1851-C G$1 MS65 PCGS. Variety 4-D. The base of the first 1 is just below the nearby leaf tip. The most plentiful C-mint Type One gold dollar, the 1851-C is also a generally well-produced issue. On the present example the obverse stars are mostly sharp, with only slight weakness on stars 11 and 12 (the last has an interesting, curved point nearest the rim). The reverse is mostly well struck also, with localized weakness confined to the LA in DOLLAR and good articulation elsewhere, throughout. A fairly large die crack runs from OF to the tops of AM, and faint clashing appears on that side under a loupe. This wonderful type coin offers bold luster over greenish-gold surfaces, with premium eye appeal. Population: 6 in 65, 2 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N7079)
