WELL STRUCK 1858-D NGC GRADED MINT STATE 61. NGC graded MS-61. Sharply struck for the date with full definition on Liberty's curls and even on the central reverse devices, which are notoriously weak on this date and mint. The color is a frosty orange-gold color, with glowing mint brilliance. Surface quality is much better than often encountered for the grade, with no deep or distracting bagmarks to note. Minor surface disturbances are noted in the fields, but visible primarily with a glass.
The presses stopped at 15,362 for the year 1858 in Dahlonega, very few of which survive today. To find a decent Mint State coin as offered here is a real treat for the numismatist. An important and historic offering of this date.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
