Description
Appealing 1861-D Gold Dollar With
Unc Details, Only U.S. Coin
Struck Solely Under the Confederacy
1861-D G$1 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details. Variety
12-Q. The Civil War officially began on April 12, 1861, with the
shelling of Fort Sumter, South Carolina. The Dahlonega Mint managed
to strike only 1,597 half eagles before it was seized by
Confederate forces, which struck an additional 1,000-2,000
examples, according to traditional sources.No 1861-D quarter eagles were struck at all. No 1861-D gold dollars were struck under U.S. authority, but perhaps 1,000 pieces were produced--all under the Confederate banner, making the issue unique in U.S. history. This is a nice coin for the issue, with especially clean, appealing surfaces. The only mark of note is a shallow contact in the right field on the reverse, to the right of the top of the 1 in the date. Although the coin has been cleaned, obvious hairlines are largely confined to the reverse. Slight reddish patina further complements the appearance.(Registry values: N7079)
