1870-S Gold Dollar, MS64
Historical San Francisco Issue

1870-S G$1 MS64 NGC. Although the cornerstone for the second San Francisco Mint building was laid in 1870, coinage was accomplished at the original Mint building that began operations 16 years earlier. All San Francisco Mint gold dollars were struck at the first Mint, including the 1854-S Type One, the 1856-S Type Two, and the 1857-S, 1858-S, 1859-S, 1860-S, and 1870-S Type Three coins.

Most 1870-S gold dollars that survive from the 3,000-coin mintage are Mint State or very nearly so. NGC has certified 57 submissions in all grades including 48 coins that grade AU58 to MS63. Just four coins are below that range and five coins, including the present specimen, are above that range. This beautiful Choice Mint State piece features a gold strike and frosty, brilliant yellow-gold luster. Scattered marks prevent a higher grade. Census: 3 in 64, 2 finer (11/22).
