Lot 3321
1856 $1 Gold Indian. Slanting 5. PCGS graded MS-64. Attractive light golden toning adds to its appeal. In an old green label holder. Choice, high grade examples of MS64 quality are rarely offered. In 1856 the Mints switched to gold dollars with this design, because Mint Director Col. James Ross Snowden grew dissatisfied with the Type Two format introduced only two years before. The new motifs did the trick, and this type continued until the end of the series in 1889. The P-mints from the 1850s and early 1860s are the best made among the Type Three gold dollars, with the present example being an excellent representative of both the date, date-style and the Type. Pop 68; 13 in 65, 7 in 66, 2 in 67, 2 in 68 (PCGS # 7540) .
Estimated Value $850 - 900.
