Description
1859-S Gold Dollar, Frosty MS61+
'One of the Rarest Gold Dollars in Mint State'
1859-S G$1 MS61+ NGC. Four mints struck gold dollars in
1859. Philadelphia manufactured the most coins by far, followed by
San Francisco (15,000 coins). Southern branch mint output was
characteristically low. The 1859-S is scarce in circulated
condition and downright rare in Uncirculated grades, where only 10
to 20 pieces are believed extant. Bowers calls this "one of the
rarest gold dollars in Mint State... ." Liberty's curls and
headdress are well-detailed, and the wreath elements are uniformly
bold. Frosty luster emanates from minimally marked yellow-gold
surfaces. Struck from slightly rotated dies. Census: 10 in 61 (1 in
61+), 1 finer (3/16).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25CP, PCGS# 7554, Greysheet# 8083)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
