Sparkling MS 61 1860-D Gold Dollar

1860-D MS 61 NGC. The 1860-D has been recognized for decades as one of the great rarities of the series, a status that has been deflated slightly in recent years, although probably no more than 80-90 pieces are extant from a paltry mintage of 1,566 coins. In the upper reaches of AU and in Mint State, it is still considered to be of the utmost rarity. As always, the borders are weak and the UN in UNITED are barely recognizable, these being diagnostic for the issue. Both sides of this bright yellow-gold specimen are at least partially reflective, a trait that tends to magnify a few wispy hairlines and contact marks in the fields. The overall quality and appearance, however, is remarkable for this coveted D-mint. Population: 1 in 61, 1 finer (11/98).
