1860 Gold Dollar, MS67+
Sole Finest Example

1860 G$1 MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The 1860 gold dollar is the rarest Philadelphia Mint issue in the series prior to 1863. Fewer than 40,000 pieces were struck, and unlike later low-mintage issues, few were set aside. A scarce issue in all grades, it is practically unknown above Gem. In MS67, the 1860 is a monumental rarity, the likes of which we have only handled on one other occasion all the way back in March 2004. In fact, this is that same coin. In the 16 years since the coin was last offered publicly, several important collections have come to market, but none of them have included an 1860 of this caliber, highlighting the present coin's profound importance.

This gorgeous Superb Gem is strongly struck at the centers, although a couple of letters opposite the upper wreath are incompletely brought up. A prooflike and essentially pristine representative with lovely rose accents intermixed with the natural golden-orange color. As the sole finest 1860 gold dollar recognized at both services combined, we expect bidders for vie vigorously for this lot.
