Lot 3653
1856-S $1 Gold Indian. AU-55. Some minor hairlins. Comes with a PCGS AU55 tag. Highly lustrous and largely brilliant with warm golden highlights on both sides. Boldly fully struck as well, unlike the 1854 and 1855 Type Twos, with just outstanding sharpness and detail on Liberty's hair, feathered headdress, on the wreath, the ribbon bow, and the date and denomination. Take your pick, wherever you look the devices show completely. As the first Gold Dollar struck at the San Francisco, the mintage was capped at 24,600 pieces by a lack of orders (in those days, depositors of bullion could demand any denomination they chose, and the mint had to comply).
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
