1853 Gold Dollar, MS68
High-End Type Coin
Ex: Pogue

1853 G$1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Pogue-Bender. This is an absolutely captivating example of the issue as well as the type. Both sides are awash in scintillating frosty luster. The color is a rich orange-gold shade with suggestions of even more vivid reddish-gold overtones. A couple of tiny swirls of slightly deeper color are noted in the obverse field before, above, and below Liberty's portrait. Bothersome handling marks are unseen, but several interesting obverse die cracks are evident at the left border and along the truncation of Liberty's neck. Striations in several areas of the reverse field and faint clashmarks at the back of Liberty's head can be seen under a loupe. The eye appeal and technical quality of this coin are nearly perfect. Population: 1 in 68, 3 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (7/22).
