1858-D $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. A splendid, very choice, Brilliant Uncirculated example. The strike is full and the surfaces are ablaze with mint luster. All delicately toned a light sunset golden hue. Certainly among the finest examples in existence. Only 3,477 pieces struck.
This piece is one point better than the MS62 example in the Harry Bass sale. The Philadelphia Mint shipped three sets of 1858-D dies to Dahlonega in December 1857. Mintage was low as before, but distribution must have been different than with 1857-D, for today the 1858-D, while scarce in its own right, is more available than its 1857-D counterpart. As such the presently offered Mint State 63 1858-D would be a consideration not only for the connoisseur of the gold dollar series but for an interesting addition any set of rare U.S. coins. Pop 7; 4 finer, 2 in 64, 2 in 65 (PCGS # 7549) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.
