Description
1851-D Gold Dollar, MS63
High-End Dahlonega Type Coin
1851-D G$1 MS63 PCGS. Variety 3-E. Any Dahlonega gold dollar
is a rarity in Mint State, but the 1851-D is among a handful of
dates in the series that are usually obtainable at this level --
most collectors find other issues to be far out of reach in Mint
State. Of the 300 to 400 '51-D gold dollars believed extant, Doug
Winter estimates 15 to 20 are Uncirculated. This MS63 example is
among the finer-known representatives and is a significant rarity
at this level. The surfaces yield satiny lemon-gold luster with
peach overtones in the fields. The highest points of Liberty's hair
curls and the central reverse lettering are slightly weak, but the
peripheral stars are well-defined. Close study reveals
crisscrossing die polish lines in the fields, while grade-limiting
abrasions are unimpressive. Population: 6 in 63 (2 in 63+), 2 finer
(11/15).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25BM, PCGS# 7515, Greysheet# 8061)
Weight: 1.67 grams
