Lot 3481
1870-S $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. One of the many rarities from the One dollar gold series, this is the final mintmarked issue by any of the branch mints. Demand for the tiny gold dollars was never that high, and only 3,000 were coined for circulation. This particular example boasts gleaming luster and is fully struck. Both sides display a touch of orange gold toning, most prominent at the edge. Identifiable by a trivial hairline scratch from Liberty's lowest curl down towards the right foot of the last A in AMERICA, and a tiny speck left of the middle post of the D in DOLLAR on the reverse. PCGS has graded 7 this high, with just 3 graded higher, making this likely one of the top dozen known of the date. A delightful coin that will entice the specialist.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.
From the Michael Riordan collection.
