Lot Description

The New Orleans mint struck just 14,000 gold dollars, the lowest mintage of all O-mint gold dollars, and according to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, "this date is at least as rare as many Dahlonega and Charlotte issues." Essentially Mint State, this is a lovely, original example. Sharply struck devices stand out against frosty golden surfaces. The eye appeal is very nice and nothing more than a few trivial ticks are seen with the aid of a strong glass. PCGS 24, NGC 65. The current Collectors Universe value is $2,200 and the most recent example sold for $1,560 in December 2018. Very scarce in Mint State, the finest is the MS64 from the Bass Collection, not seen since the 2003 FUN auction. A great looking example for this date/grade, one that should see strong bidding. Cert. Number 25245838 PCGS # 7512.00
