Description

1857-S Gold Dollar, MS61
Very Rare in Uncirculated Grades

1857-S G$1 MS61 NGC. A challenging San Francisco issue, the 1857-S claims a mintage of only 10,000 pieces. Mint State examples are very rare and underappreciated compared to the more popular Charlotte and Dahlonega issues from this period. This piece is well-struck with bright, softly frosted luster over wheat-gold surfaces. A few light scattered abrasions limit the grade, but they do not diminish the significance of this early S-mint rarity. Census: 9 in 61, 6 finer (5/15).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25CG, PCGS# 7547, Greysheet# 8078)

Weight: 1.67 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
