1856 Slant 5. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
VERY CH BU |
$4,000.00
|
Incredible satiny mint lustre and well struck devices create surfaces that are nearly devoid of blemishes. In fact, the surface of this specimen is more akin to that of the 1880's dates, which circulated little and are readily available in even Superb Gem grades. Here is a treasure for the Gold Dollar specialist. |

1856 Upright 5
|
AU |
$250.00
|
About Uncirculated. Slight weakness at the lower left obverse and corresponding reverse. Reverse scratch through the center; 1856 Slant 5. Extremely Fine. Noticeably buckled planchet. 2 pieces. |

1856'D'
|
EF |
$4,000.00
|
Extremely Fine. As is typical, the 'U' of United and the '5' in the date somewhat weakly struck. Scattered minor digs in the obverse surface and a pinscratch from the neck is observed. Visually not as bad as this would sound because of the coin's small size. Only 1,460 were produced of this Dahlonega issue that is one of the unheralded rarities of series. |

1857'D'
|
EF |
$2,400.00
|
Extremely Fine and essentially Choice. This coin is boldly struck on one of the typically uneven planchets for which this Dahlonega date is famous. One of 3,533 struck, showing the denticles uneven as always, though the present coin displays partial denticulation on both sides. Date, mintmark and denomination are full, though the wreath is weak along the outer edges. Overall this is... more |

1861 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
VERY CH BU |
$750.00
|
- on the cusp of fully Gem. Wonderfully rich red-gold lustre drenches fields and boldly detailed devices. A glass reveals die clashing on either side of this Civil War date. NGC MS64. |

1861 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$190.00
|
- and bordering on Choice. Cartwheel lustre adds its appeal to a very meticulous strike. Both sides show die clash in the otherwise smooth fields. |

1861 Brilliant Uncirculated

- and near-Choice. Sharply struck, full lustre. |

1862 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$400.00
|
A lovely example with variegated, coppery gold patina. U.S. gold is 10% copper and 90% gold, and sometimes the copper will be at the surface, causing this type of patina. |

1862 Brilliant Uncirculated

- or essentially so. Frosty, with a touch of coppery toning in the protected areas. |

| 2870 |
1870'S' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$1,000.00
|
Deep greenish-gold toning over lightly hairlined surfaces. A decent strike for this date. The mintmark is from the late state with the digit filled in underneath. Scarce with only 3,000 pieces struck of this only branch mint issue of the 1870's and 1880's. |

1873 Closed 3. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$2,600.00
|
Gently glowing yellow-gold shows a hint a red, strike is remarkably full with an inconspicuous hairline noted just left of the reverse wreath ribbon. The Closed 3 is one of the rarities of the later Gold Dollar dates with only approximately 1,800 pieces struck. While 38 appearances of the Closed 3 are recorded by Dannreuther and Garrett in their 10-year auction listing, only two of these... more |

1886 Very Choice Brilliant Proof
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$7,500.00
|
- a near-approach to full Gem. Here is a jewel-sharp tiny coin displaying razor-sharp and distinctly glowing devices hovering over the deepest red-gold mirror fields one might wish. A glass finds a hint of whitish toning outlining the reliefs. This late date offers fascinating statistics: only 5,000 business strikes and 1,016 Proofs produced. Proofs of this date are even rarer than this small... more |

1888
|
CH AU |
$600.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated with the initial appearance of an impaired proof. Fully reflective fields with some moderate abrasion present. The reverse is especially nice with good contrast between the fields and the devices. Whatever you call this coin, it has it's own arm's length charm. |

1889 Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
SUP GEM BU |
$9,500.00
|
- or still finer. Immaculate red-gold lustre glorifies a needle-sharp strike that features a crisply complete incuse LIBERTY on the headband. All lettering and even the leaf veins on the reverse wreath are just as precisely defined. Here is a coin that would be effectively impossible to duplicate, as the 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett auction study includes several Superb examples but no... more |

1889 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$2,400.00

- virtually in the Superb classification. Blazing cartwheel lustre complements a needle-sharp strike to assure the highest possible visual quality to this splendid example of the last Gold Dollar date. PCGS MS66. |

1889 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
