Description
1859 Gold Dollar, PR64
Old Holder, Unacknowledged Contrast
1859 G$1 PR64 PCGS. CAC. Though Mint records list a mintage
of 80 pieces for this earlier proof gold dollar issue, that figure
drastically overshot demand. Between meltings at the Mint and
natural attrition, just 15 to 20 survivors are known, per Garrett
and Guth. This near-Gem specimen is housed in a small-format PCGS
"rattler" holder that predates the use of Cameo designations and so
makes no acknowledgment of the considerable contrast on
orange-laced yellow-gold surfaces. The reverse has even
reflectivity, while the obverse shows a subtle rippling effect
along the margins.(Registry values: P5)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25E2, PCGS# 7609, Greysheet# 8115)
