Rarely Seen MS62 1853-C Gold Dollar

1853-C G$1 MS62 NGC. Variety 8-I. Easily attributable by the mintmark not being doubled. Only 11,515 pieces were struck of this Type One gold dollar. Of that number it is estimated that only 130-140 examples are known today in all grades. Of course, most are VF-XF with a generous number of AU pieces included also, but coins in mint condition are rarely encountered. The surfaces are lightly abraded, as one would expect from a coin in this grade, but the fields are surprisingly clean and show the often-seen semireflective sheen seen on many C-mint gold coins. Just a bit softly struck on Liberty's hair curls; otherwise, well defined throughout.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25BV, PCGS# 7522, Greysheet# 8066)

Weight: 1.67 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
