1856-D G$1 MS (PCGS#7543)

The March 2011 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1856-D Gold Dollar. Winter 8-K, the only known dies. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. With a paltry original mintage of just 1,460 pieces, it should come as no surprise to read that the 1856-D is a leading rarity in the Dahlonega Mint Gold Dollar series. Writing in the 2003 edition of the book <em>Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint: 1838-1861</em>, in fact, Southern gold expert Doug Winter ranks the 1856-D third in overall rarity and second in high-grade rarity among the 13 issues in this mintmarked Gold Dollar series. A handsome piece with even khaki-gold patina, the present example also offers considerable boldness of detail in the presence of overall light wear. Rather well struck by the standards of the issuing mint, with no mentionable abrasions apart from a series of light handling marks on the obverse portrait.
