Attractive, Scarce 1859-C Gold Dollar, AU55

1859-C G$1 AU55 PCGS. Variety 11-M. The 1859-C is the final gold dollar minted at the Charlotte Mint, and with just 5,200 pieces struck, it also has the lowest mintage of any C-mint dollar. This eye-catching piece has magnificent luster that is complemented by charming yellow-gold patina. The strike is weak at the centers, as always, and the O in DOLLAR is exceptionally soft. A small dig is noted at the U in UNITED, but the rest of the abrasions are minor. Overall, an attractive example of this scarce issue. Population: 15 in 55, 21 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N2998)
