Remarkable Gem 1861 Gold Dollar

1861 G$1 MS65 NGC. CAC. This gold dollar was produced during the first year of Civil War hostilities; it and the 1862 have mintages many times that of the succeeding years, 1863-65. Despite the plentiful mintage of more than a half-million pieces, however, examples in the upper Mint State grades are elusive. This Gem coin is bright and flashy, with bounteous luster radiating from near-pristine yellow-gold, intensely frosted surfaces. Pronounced die clashing appears on the reverse, as portions of ERTY running diagonally below the date. A remarkable Gem for a fine collection. Census: 31 in 65, 9 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
