Description

Elusive 1853-O Gold Dollar, MS64

1853-O G$1 MS64 PCGS. The New Orleans Mint type collector may wish to consider this example, as the 1853-O gold dollar is the easiest date to obtain from that mint. Gem and near-Gem quality examples of this date are elusive while lower grade pieces are plentiful. For example, the Smithsonian Institution has three examples of this date, yet the finest is just AU55. The PCGS population data also supports the elusive nature of this coin in higher grades. This example is fully struck with frosty luster and rich green-gold color. A shallow mark in the right obverse field is the only noteworthy blemish on otherwise exceptional surfaces. Population: 33 in 64, 6 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25BX, PCGS# 7524, Greysheet# 8068)

Weight: 1.67 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
