Description du lot

The Charlotte Mint struck only 6,966 gold dollars in 1850, the second year of coinage for this Gold Rush era denomination. This is the second lowest mintage in the C-mint gold dollar series, and the 1850-C vies with the 1859-C as the second rarest Charlotte Mint gold dollar. One of just 150 to 250 coins believed extant (per Doug Winter, 2008), this minimally circulated example reveals much of the semi-reflective to slightly granular finish for which the issue is known. Warm orange-gold color with a tinge of underlying olive, both sides also offer impressively sharp strike detail by Charlotte Mint standards. A visually pleasing piece that will catch the eye of astute Southern gold collectors.
