Description
1853-D Gold Dollar. Winter 5-G, the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
Vivid rose-orange and deep honey-gold features are uncommonly sharp by Dahlonega Mint standards. Satiny in texture and quite vibrant, this is a lovely example of an issue that is typically offered well worn, impaired, or both. Of the 6,583 gold dollars produced in Dahlonega in 1853, the typical grade today is apt to be VF to EF, "although About Uncirculated coins are seen now and then" according to the Bowers-Whitman gold dollar reference. It is thought that just 175 to 225 circulated examples of the date can be found today, a small population when the number of collectors is considered. At premium Choice AU the scarcity of the date increases significantly, and many will be the bidding paddles aloft when this pleasing specimen comes up for bids.
PCGS# 7523. NGC ID: 25BW.
CAC Stickered Population: 17 in all AU grades.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of May-June 2012, lot 4730.
