PCGS 1859-D MS 61. The '59-D is the most common Type Three gold dollar struck in the Dahlonega mint. Nevertheless, it is a scarce item in AU and mint state with an impressively low mintage of only 4,952 pieces. This coin is fairly typical for the issue as there is evidence of die clashing in the fields and it is weakly impressed on the highpoints of the design, most noticeable on the 85 in the date and the tops of the plumes on the headdress. There is evidence of the dies having been polished in the mint as there are die striations noted in the fields. Rich orange-gold color with a few smaller marks scattered about that account for the grade.
