Description
Significant Mint State 1860-D Gold Dollar
1860-D Gold Dollar. Winter 12-P, the only known dies. Unc Details--Cleaned (PCGS).
This gold dollar offers superior eye appeal for the elusive 1860-D issue. Satiny with even rich orange-honey and pale rose colors, both sides also display considerable reflectivity in the fields. The striking detail on Liberty's portrait is impressively sharp, and the reverse wreath is also crisp save for an area of bluntness at the lower right, as is typical. The central reverse is sharp apart from bluntness to the digit 6 in the date. The obverse periphery is characteristically incomplete for the issue, with the letter U in UNITED all but absent. The surfaces are a bit too bright with some wispy hairlines, both qualities helping to explain the PCGS qualifier, but this is still a significant representative of this conditionally challenged issue. Mint State examples are exceedingly rare, in fact, with Doug Winter accounting for only seven or eight specimens in the 2023 edition of his reference Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint: 1838-1861.
PCGS# 7556. NGC ID: 25CS.
