Beautiful MS62 1851-D Gold Dollar

1851-D G$1 MS62 NGC. Variety 3-E. The Dahlonega Mint struck 3,147 gold dollars in February 1851. No other coins of this denomination were produced until June. In that month, an additional 6,735 pieces were delivered for a total mintage for the year of 9,882 pieces. The more common of the two known die marriages, Winter suggests that coins of the 3-E variety may have been those examples produced in June. This issue is similar in overall rarity to the lower mintage 1858-D, and both are tied for tenth rarest honors among D-mint gold dollars. This ranking means that the '51-D is actually among the more frequently offered dollars from this branch mint. The surfaces are both well produced and, for the grade, well preserved. There are no outwardly distracting planchet defects, and the strike is bold, if not sharp, in all areas. Rich green-gold undertones peer through equally original orange-gold shadings, and there is a blush of pale powder-blue color on the obverse portrait. A well concealed strike through (as produced) at the top rear of Liberty's head is mentioned for pedigree purposes.
