Extremely Elusive Near-Gem 1853-O Gold Dollar

1853-O G$1 MS64 ICG. The 1853-O is the most plentiful Type One New Orleans Gold Dollar in today's market, in Mint State. On the other hand, the majority of examples offered are in circulated or lower Mint State grades, and precious few survivors from the 290,000-piece delivery approach the Gem level in terms of either technical quality or eye appeal. The present near-Gem possesses both uncommonly smooth, lustrous surfaces and a pleasing appearance. The texture is softly frosted, and the devices are boldly, if not sharply detailed in all areas. The medium gold surfaces are free of mentionable abrasions, but some microscopic pimples are evident on the reverse from having been struck from a slightly rusted die.
