Description

1857-D Gold Dollar, MS63
Only 3,533 Coins Struck
Sole Finest Certified

1857-D G$1 MS63 NGC. Variety 9-L. Despite a low mintage of 3,533 coins, Doug Winter still thinks the 1857-D goes unnoticed. He writes in Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint: "Along with the 1850-D it is the most underrated Dahlonega gold dollar, especially in higher grades." Winter estimates 150 to 200 examples extant in all grades, perhaps a bit more, but only seven to 10 pieces in Mint State. At the time of writing (2013), his Condition Census included four MS62 coins tied at the top. This is was one of them, though it has since upgraded, taking on status as the sole finest certified at NGC and PCGS combined.

This MS63 1857-D gold dollar features an outstanding strike for the issue with both sides showing far better detail than usual. Medium orange-gold color dominates, and a few light marks are noticeable to the right of and below the 7 in the date. The quality of the planchet is excellent. Census: 1 in 63, 0 finer (3/22).
