Description
1857-D Gold Dollar, Blond-Gold MS61
Underrated Dahlonega Issue
1857-D G$1 MS61 NGC. Variety 9-L, the sole dies known or
needed for this small issue of 3,533 pieces. The average certified
survivor is between AU and Choice AU, and examples of this
skimpy-mintage rarity are seldom seen in any Mint State grade. Doug
Winter writes in the third edition of his Dahlonega gold reference
that "I have always thought that, along with the 1850-D, [the
1857-D] was the most undervalued gold dollar from Dahlonega." The
strike on this issue is universally subpar. This piece shows the
denticulation soft around the top area of the reverse rim and the
lower obverse, and strike softness appears at the topmost design
areas on each side, namely the bowknot on the reverse and the hair
below the headdress on the obverse. The blond-gold surfaces of this
piece are strictly Mint State but show a scattered of light ticks
and hairlines consistent with the MS61 level. Census: 3 in 61, 4
finer (3/15).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25CF, PCGS# 7546, Greysheet# 8077)
