1858-D AU-58 (PCGS). 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 the numismatic marketplace. The presently offered specimen is of high quality for the assigned grade, with eye appeal that matches.
