Lot 1861
1842-D. PCGS graded AU-58. Very well struck by the standards of the Dahlonega Mint, both the obverse and the reverse exhibit a pronounced sharpness of detail with only the lightest signs of handling from circulation. There are no individually distracting abrasions, and the surfaces show subtle green-gold color with flickers of modest reflectiveness remaining in the fields. The 1842-D is a highly elusive issue with a mintage of just 4,643 pieces. Presently, only 75 to 85 coins are believed extant in all grades (per Doug Winter, Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint: 1838-1861). An important high grade offering for the gold enthusiast or type collector.Pop 5; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7725) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000.
