Description

1857-S Gold Dollar, MS61
Scarce 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 scarce 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: 11 in 61, 6 finer (6/21).
