Gem MS65 1851-O Gold Dollar

1851-O G$1 MS65 PCGS. Since we began keeping track of auction records through our auction archives in 1993, this sale represents the first time that we have handled a PCGS MS65 example of this issue, and this sale includes three of them! Although this date is considered to be common, and the mintage of 290,000 coins suggests that it is common, Mint State examples are quite elusive and Gems are virtually unavailable. We are excited to present three Gem quality examples, each among the finest on the market. In fact, PCGS has only ever certified one better coin, which they graded MS66. This example is well struck, yet is not fully struck. A few of Liberty's hair strands in the area of her hair are merged together. The reverse is weak at exactly the opposite point, including the LL of DOLLAR and the two middle date figures. The balance of the detail on both sides is complete. While a few tiny surface marks are visible, the luster is frosty and full, with lovely honey-gold coloration. A couple tiny copper toning spots are visible on the reverse. Population: 10 in 65, 1 finer (10/04).(#7516) (Registry values: N4719)
