Description
1857-C Gold Dollar, MS61
Rarest Type Three C-Mint in High Grades
1857-C G$1 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. The only dies known for the
date. In high grades (AU-Mint State), the 1857-C falls
approximately in the middle of the scale as far as all Charlotte
Mint gold dollars are concerned. However, among Type Three issues,
of which there are only two, the 1857-C is the rarer. There are
just a small number of properly graded Uncirculated pieces known
and few are known higher than MS62. The surfaces are bright and
lustrous with brassy-gold hues atop lightly abraded surfaces. There
are areas of mint-made granularity on nearly the exact same spots
as on the Winter plate coin and these are seen on virtually all
examples of this date. Typically impressed, both sides are
generally bold with a few areas of striking softness here and
there. The green-gold color is evenly distributed, and the eye
appeal also benefits from a lack of individually mentionable
abrasions.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2004), lot 6172.
