Lot 2091
1853-D $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ. Well struck and glittering with luster. Rich mint bloom color. A single die pair was used to strike the 6,583 Dahlonega-issued gold dollars in 1853. Mint-made defects such as planchet voids and cracks often plague survivors of this type, but are not present here. Very few Mint State 1853-D gold dollars, perhaps a dozen pieces, are believed extant, most showing some deficiencies of one sort or another. The Choice example we offer represents true value for the issue, with the sort of strike not often seen on the hair or wreath elements of a Dahlonega Mint piece. The hair shows individual separation between the strands, while most stars have strong radials; also, the wreath shows nearly complete detail. An pleasing reddish orange glow is present on both sides with no obvious marks to lend distraction. Easily Condition Census for the issue. And clearly desirable for both its excellent quality as a gold dollar and as a top-of-the-line example of Southern gold coinage. A Premium Quality coin for the grade. Pop 4; 2 finer in 65. (PCGS # 7523) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
