Description
Superb Gem 1851 Gold Dollar
Likely Struck From California Gold
1851 G$1 MS67 NGC. This fully struck and highly lustrous
Superb Gem has frosty yellow-gold color with tending toward light
green. It is a well-made example with exceptional aesthetic appeal.
A tiny die bulge near the forecurl attests to the late die state,
as do minor die cracks at the lower left part of the obverse.
Nearly vertical striae are barely seen in the fields on both sides,
a feature that is only visible with magnification. Struck during
the height of the California Gold Rush with a strong possibility
that this piece was actually coined from gold mined in that region.
