1853-C Gold Dollar, MS64
Among the Finest Known

1853-C G$1 MS64 NGC. Variety 1. The 1853-C gold dollar is relatively available in VF to XF grades. AU coins are still available with an estimated 75 to 100 pieces believed extant (estimated by Doug Winter). But examples in mint condition are seldom offered, and it can be said they are rarely offered in near-Gem condition, such as this coin. NGC shows only 37 submissions in MS60 through MS66 grades. The most dramatic fall-off in numbers occurs at the MS63 level where the numbers drop from seven in MS63 to only two in MS64, then none in MS65, and a single MS66 (11/21). As always, strike definition is less-than-complete on each side. However, the mint luster on this Condition Census coin is exemplary with bright, frosted surfaces. There are no mentionable abrasions on either side, just a few light marks that prevent an even higher designation.
