1849-D MS-64 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$14,000.00
|
A highly lustrous beauty from the first year of the gold dollar series, a Dahlonega Mint specimen that stands up well to the rigors of the assigned grade. The strike is sharp, and the warm honey gold surfaces display a wealth of lustre and much mint brightness, especially among the obverse stars. Scattered marks are seen, none of them overbearing, even when viewed under low magnification. One... more |

1853 MS-62 (NGC)

$360.00
|
Very well struck (points for this!) and with nice lustre, this 1853 dollar is just right within the assigned category. Not rare, it is a likely possibility for a type set. |

1854 Type II. MS-63 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$8,750.00
|
Although this coin is classified as "only" MS-63, it has eye appeal seldom seen at this grade or even a notch above. However, the grade is justified, for there are a number of tiny contact marks at the center of the obverse and reverse, inviting careful inspection by intending bidders.That said, the specimen is exquisitely struck, with great details on obverse and reverse, and has an... more |

1855 MS-62 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$4,400.00
|
Frosty honey gold with olive highlights. Nicely struck at most design points, though the peripheral obverse legend is a little weak. Struck from a lightly clashed state of the dies. An altogether pleasing example from the popular and short-lived (1854-1856) design type. Moderately scarcer than its 1854-dated counterpart, though more pressure is placed on the 1854 due to its first-year-of-issue... more |

1855 AU-58 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$950.00
|
Light golden color on both sides. Much mint lustre still remains. The striking is somewhat finer than usually seen for a Type II dollar—in this instance with some lightness at the highest part of the hair on the obverse and with slight lightness at the second digit of the date, but sharp nearly everywhere else. The dies clashed without an intervening planchet, and the outline of the head of... more |

Warm yellow-orange surfaces. Some lightness of strike. An affordable grade of the scarce Type II dollar. |

1855 AU-58 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$900.00
|
Some contact marks are seen on both sides, and there is some weakness at the center. Much lustre is still present, more on the reverse than the obverse. A clash mark is seen within the wreath, with the outline of Miss Liberty inverted. |

1858 MS-66 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$5,800.00
|
With four related certification events (not necessarily different coins), this 1858 gold dollar stands at the top of the PCGS roster. Both obverse and reverse are richly lustrous with attractive yellow-orange patination. The striking is excellent on both sides. The reverse die is rotated about 40° to the right of the normal alignment. |

1858-D AU-58 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$4,600.00
|
Bright and lustrous yellow gold with distinctive olive highlights on the obverse, some bright orange highlights on the reverse. Nicely struck for the date, with just a tad of striking weakness at the bottom of the reverse bow. One of only 3,477 examples of the date struck, though surprisingly, nice AU and occasionally Mint State examples of the date can be found from time to time in... more |

1860-D AU-58 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$10,000.00
|
Bright yellow gold with warm orange highlights and strong lustre on both sides. Some prooflike reflectivity is noted in the fields. Typical strike for the date, weakness at the dentils on both sides, some weakness at the date numerals and the wreath below. From a small mintage of just 1,566 gold dollars produced at Dahlonega during its penultimate year of coinage production. |

1881 Proof-67 Ultra Cameo (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$16,000.00
|
Brilliant and beautiful, with the ever-popular "orange peel" surface on both sides. Exquisitely struck. No doubt this piece is as nice as it was on the day it was coined over 120 years ago. Few equals exist. |

1888 Proof-65 Cameo (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$7,000.00
|
A lovely specimen with "orange peel" fields. Rich orange gold. A tiny lint mark is seen on the cheek of Miss Liberty, and a very tiny lamination is on the reverse below the denomination numeral—trivial to be sure, and probably not worth mentioning.The 1888 is the latest readily collectible Proof in the gold dollar series. Although the Guide Book of United States Coins registers a grand... more |
