Lot 1130
1854-D. PCGS graded AU-55. A key date coin and the only Dahlonega $3 dollar issue. Mostly untoned with some mint luster evident in the protected areas. The strike is better than usually seen on this often poorly struck issue, with softness noted in the lower left obverse reeding, but generally sharp on the central devices and lettering. Perhaps 300 exist in all grades today, this one clearly nearer the top of those known. Destined for an advanced collection and a sparkling jewel that will grace any numismatic holdings with its many charms and historic rarity. Only 1,120 struck. Pop 22; 13 finer, 9 in 58, 1 in 60, 2 in 61, 1 in 62. (PCGS # 7970) Estimate Value $30,000 - 35,000
