Lot Description

1854-D Gold Dollar. Winter 6-H, the only known dies. AU-53 (PCGS). A rare and noteworthy offering for the Southern gold enthusiast, we have handled few 1854-D gold dollars of any quality in recent years. This is an overall boldly defined About Uncirculated example with considerable sharpness of detail on both sides. Satiny in texture with even bright honey-gold patina, a few wispy handling marks over and before Liberty's portrait are mentioned for accuracy. The 1854-D is one of the most elusive Dahlonega Mint gold dollars, ranking fourth in overall and third in high grade rarity in this mintmarked series, per Doug Winter in the 2003 edition of Gold Dollars of the Dahlonega Mint: 1838-1861. The mintage is 2,935 pieces, the extant population probably on the order of 100 to 200 coins. The typical survivor is well worn, if not also impaired, highlighting the significance of this PCGS-certified AU-53 coin. PCGS# 7526. NGC ID: 25BZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
