Description
1859-C Gold Dollar, MS62
One of the Finest Examples Known
1859-C G$1 MS62 NGC. Variety 1. This particular coin is
distinguished by being one of the finest known of what is arguably
either the worst or second worst-produced Charlotte gold dollar.
Probably only 150-250 coins are known in all grades, with eight to
12 pieces in Uncirculated condition. The surfaces display the usual
problems. The hair on Liberty is softly detailed, the central
details on the reverse are weak, and there is widespread, although
shallow planchet flaking in the fields on each side. Each side
shines with bright mint luster, much of which is attributable to
the pronounced die striations in the fields. The only mentionable
or noticeable post-striking impairments are to the right of the 9
in the date. Rich orange-gold color occurs throughout. Census: 12
in 62, 0 finer (5/11).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25CM, PCGS# 7552, Greysheet# 8081)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
