Lot Description

From the Chester Roche Collection. An extremely RARE Mint State survivor from an original mintage of 8,382, indeed it is one of the rarest, and yet underrated and undervalued Dahlonega mint gold dollars. Displaying a sharper strike than usually encountered, Liberty's hair curls are all visible, although lacking in crispness. Utilizing the aid of a strong loupe, there are some tiny marks, but they are in no way excessive or detracting. Also of note is the bold luster that brings out the original orange-yellow gold color. PCGS 4, NGC 5. There are only five coins finer at PCGS. There has not been a PCGS MS61 sold in auction since May 2004--a coin that brought $8,913. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,500. Better in strike and luster than the PCGS MS62 CAC that sold for $12,338 in the 2017 FUN auction, this coin is a real prize for any advanced gold dollar or D-mint collector. Good luck! Cert.
