Description
Rare 1860-D Gold Dollar
1860-D G$1 AU 55 NGC. 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. Glowing, yellow-gold surfaces are overlaid with reddish patina in the centers.From the Tyler Dillon of Wellesley Collection.
