Conditionally Rare 1853-O Gold Dollar, MS65

1853-O G$1 MS65 PCGS. Among all gold dollars struck in New Orleans, the 1853-O is considered the easiest to locate in all grades. With a mintage of 290,000 coins, it is tied with the 1851-O for the highest mintage gold dollar of this Mint. However, in Gem quality, it is a major rarity as the PCGS population data will attest. In the last 15 years, the only other MS65 example of this date that we have offered was in our June 1997 Long Beach sale. This frosty Gem has rich and creamy yellow luster with splashes of orange toning on both sides. There is no evidence of weak details on either side, with the solitary exception of a single berry inside the wreath to the right of the date. Apparently an early die state, there are no die cracks or clash marks visible, with only a few short die lines from the tops of ITE to the border. Population: 4 in 65, 2 finer (6/07).(Registry values: N4719)
