Mintage: 1,811. Indian Princess. Complaints that the gold dollar was too small caused a redesign in 1854. A collosal mistake of design by James Longacre with weak strikes of virtually all coins from all five mints. This issue has a weak 8 in the date, as with most 55's, otherwise nice detail and gold toning with some reflectiveness noted around the devices. As attractive as a 55-D can get. The rarest of all Dahlonega gold dollars. From the North Georgia Collection.

1858-D G$1 MS61 PCGS. Variety 10-M. A single die pair is known for the scant mintage of 3,477 pieces. The present example has peach-gold toning around design elements while the high points and open fields are gunmetal-blue. No marks are visible, though a J-shaped strike-though, as made and often seen on the issue, is near the ED in UNITED. The strike is above average for a Dahlonega emission, with blending evident on the 5 in the date and the leaf above the right ribbon end. The reverse displays a triple set of clash marks from Liberty's profile

Mintage 20,583. Classic Half Eagle. Gold fever hit the country in the late 1820's as the yellow metal was discovered in Georgia and North Carolina. The gold rush that ensued triggered the establishment of federal branch mints at Charlotte, NC and Dahlonega, GA. The 1838 Classic half eagle was the first coin produced at the frontier Dahlonega Mint. This coin exhibits beautiful golden tone, semiprooflike surfaces, and fantastic eye appeal.
