Description
Original 1859-C Gold Dollar, AU50
1859-C G$1 AU50 PCGS. As with the 1857-C, the 1859-C is another Charlotte gold dollar that is usually seen with poor eye appeal and uneven detail. The present example is certainly above average for the date. It has a nice, sharp strike with typical weakness on the denticles but with good detail in the centers. The obverse shows a few small marks in the left field; the reverse has some minor nicks in the center and a small area of mint-caused roughness at the upper center. Close to half of the original mint luster is present and, unlike so many 1859-C gold dollars, this piece has not been processed. The color is a pleasing light to medium yellow-gold with a natural appearance. The overall look of this coin is excellent and its sharpness is certainly equivalent to that seen on many coins graded AU55. Housed in an old PCGS holder, the coin appears conservatively graded.From The Carolina Circle Collection.(Registry values: N2998)
