Description
1859-C Gold Dollar, MS63
Second in Overall Rarity
1859-C G$1 MS63 PCGS Secure. Struck in medium green-gold
with some light haziness seen on both the obverse and the reverse.
The obverse is well-made, lustrous, and clean; the reverse is a
hair less choice with a small mint-made defect seen above the
second L in DOLLAR. The strike and appearance are typical for the
date but the quality of this coin is far above average and it is
actually tied with two others as the highest graded at PCGS.The 1859-C is tied for second rarest of the nine collectible gold dollars from Charlotte in overall rarity. It is more common in high grades than once assumed and this is possibly the result of a small hoard that existed at one time. Only one PCGS coin has sold at auction, in our Long Beach Signature in June 2004, lot 6174 brought $24,150.
