1859-D Dollar, MS62
Semiprooflike Fields

1859-D G$1 MS62 PCGS. Variety 11-O. This variety, the scarcer of two for the issue, features the 9 mostly centered under the A in DOLLAR and the 5 in the date over the point of the ribbon. Despite a mintage of fewer than 5,000 coins and a survivorship of only 300 to 350 pieces, the 1859-D is the most collectible Type Three Dahlonega Mint gold dollar and trails only the 1849-D and 1851-D overall. That is purely a reflection of the general difficulty posed by D-mint gold dollars.

Each side of this MS62 representative showcases rich orange-gold color and semiprooflike fields -- no surprise given the issue's low mintage. Strike definition is typical for a Georgia mint product, and the planchet exhibits areas of characteristic roughness. Commanding aesthetic quality. Population: 15 in 62, 4 finer (7/20).
