Lot Description

The central design elements of this early Charlotte Mint dollar are left bold and nicely sharp for the assigned grade, supported by lovely golden-olive color throughout. Softly frosted in the protected areas and remaining free of noteworthy blemishes. Produced to a quantity of 41,267 coins, the 1851-C represents over half of all Type I gold dollars to emerge from the Charlotte Mint, from 1849 through 1853. This scarce near-Mint State survivor would do equally well in a mintmarked type set or specialized Southern gold collection.
