Description
Key-Date 1856-D Gold Dollar, AU58
1856-D G$1 AU58 NGC. Variety 8-K, the only known variety. The 1856-D is one of the keys to the series, and always in demand. Douglas Winter (Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint) estimates 80 to 90 pieces known. It is most often seen in Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades. Winter writes that it is extremely rare in the higher About Uncirculated levels of preservation, and is one of the rarest Dahlonega issues in Mint State.This near-Mint specimen retains a good amount of luster on its yellow-gold surfaces. The overall design impression is relatively sharp, except for the usual softness in the hair, the U of UNITED, and the 5 in the date. Both sides are remarkably clean. Census: 18 in 58, 6 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N4719)
