1856-D Gold Dollar, MS61
Low-Mintage Condition Rarity
Incredible Georgia Mint Relic

1856-D G$1 MS61 NGC. Variety 8-K. Whereas hundreds of 1856 and thousands of 1856-S (Type Two) gold dollars are certified at NGC, there are only 36 submissions for the 1856-D. This famous Dahlonega issue claims a minuscule mintage of 1,460 coins. About 75 to 100 pieces are believed to survive in all grades. NGC reports four Uncirculated grading events (three in MS61, one in MS63), while PCGS lists eight (two each in MS60 and MS61, three in MS62, one in MS62+) (11/22).

The present condition rarity is well struck from lightly clashed dies. The 5 in the date and the upper curls are slightly soft, but the wreath and legends are bold and unworn. Moderately bright yellow-gold surfaces are lightly abraded, but they do not affect the appeal. Extraordinarily challenging so fine and nearly impossible to upgrade.
From The Mr. Brightside Collection. (Registry values: N1)
