Lot Description

1859-C Gold Dollar. EF-45 (PCGS). Handsome orange-honey surfaces retain sharp detail overall for a lightly circulated coin from the Charlotte Mint. The 1859-C is the final gold dollar produced in the Charlotte Mint and is one of the rarest and most challenging to locate in any grade. The mintage is just 5,235 pieces and the vast majority entered commercial channels and remained there until worn out or lost. Finally, the 1859-C rivals the 1855-C as the most poorly produced Charlotte Mint gold dollar. Among the survivors, well worn surfaces with soft to blunt definition are the norm and many are impaired due to cleaning, damage and other problems. Given all of this, the desirability of this above average Choice EF should be obvious. PCGS# 7552. NGC ID: 25CM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
