Description
1856-S/S Gold Dollar, MS63
Rare This Well-Preserved
1856-S/S G$1 FS-501 MS63 PCGS. The mintmark is widely
repunched on this intriguing Cherrypickers' variety,
although the chief appeal of this piece is its conditional rarity.
The 1856-S is the only Type Two issue from this mint, and had a
limited mintage of just 24,600 pieces, few of which survive in
Uncirculated condition. PCGS records only 23 Mint State
submissions, with six in MS63 and just two MS64 coins numerically
finer; NGC has seen two pieces in this grade, with three MS64 coins
numerically finer (3/15). The finest coin in the Smithsonian
Institution grades just AU50. This piece displays well-struck
design elements for the type, with satiny luster shining through
warm orange-gold patina. A few light abrasions account for the
grade, but none are individually obvious, although the obverse
exhibits several radial cracks due to a late die state.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C8, Variety PCGS# 145703, Base PCGS# 7536, Greysheet# 351835)
