1853-C Gold Dollar, MS63
Fully Struck and Semiprooflike

1853-C G$1 MS63 NGC. Variety 1. This was the fourth and final Type One gold dollar issue from the Charlotte Mint. The 1853-C claims a mintage of 11,515 coins, and about 200 to 300 pieces are thought to survive, per Doug Winter's Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861 (third edition). Uncirculated coins are elusive and generally rarely seen in MS63 or higher.

This fully struck Select Mint State offering is remarkable. The surface are deep yellow-gold with lovely contrast between the watery fields and partly frosted devices. Clearly an early impression from the dies and well preserved. Note that the certification totals at this level are almost certainly inflated. Census: 14 in 63, 4 finer (6/21).(Registry values: N4719)

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