Description

1857-C G$1 AU55 NGC. This Choice AU gold dollar is fairly well defined for the issue (save for softness in Liberty's hair and the lower part of the 8 in the date), that typically comes very poorly struck. The yellow-gold surfaces reveal some planchet flaws on each side. These are in keeping with the date, that Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) call: "... one of the most poorly made United States gold coins."
