- Superb 1851 Gold Dollar
1851 Gold Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).
An appealing, conditionally rare example of the first design type in the United States Mint's circulating gold dollar series. Lustrous and satiny surfaces exhibit a few peripheral highlights of powder blue on dominant golden-orange patina. Both sides are smooth and free of grade-limiting blemishes; a bit of light roughness along the lower reverse border is as made and due to shallow planchet flaws. Fully struck, expertly preserved, and simply a delight to behold.
Struck at a time of high mintages due to the great influx of California gold, the 1851 was produced to the extent of 3,317,671 pieces and is ideal for type collections. While Mint State survivors are plentiful by the standards of this series, most collectors will have to settle for a coin that grades no finer than MS-64. Gems in MS-65 are scarce in an absolute sense, while anything finer is undeniably rare. In Superb Gem MS-67 the Larry H. Miller specimen is solidly in the Condition Census for the issue and will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. Earlier ex our (American Numismatic Rarities') Richard C. Jewell Collection sale, March 2005, lot 518.
NGC Census: 4; 3 finer (MS-69 finest).
PCGS# 7513. NGC ID: 25BK.
