Gem MS65 1851-O Gold Dollar

1851-O G$1 MS65 PCGS. Only 10 of these have been graded MS65 by PCGS, and three of them are in this sale! This example is typical in that the central design features are not fully defined. The peripheral details, on the other hand, are full and sharp. The surfaces have frosty yellow-gold luster with slight green coloration. At the time he published his New Orleans Mint gold coinage study, Doug Winter was only aware of two Gem quality examples. These three examples bring the total up to five coins, and this may be the extent of Gem survivors. If you don't acquire one of these for your collection, you may have a long wait for another.(#7516) (Registry values: N4719)
