Lot 851
1853-C $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck with lovely golden toning. This exciting gold dollar jewel has nice gold luster with warm orange toning. Softly struck on the high points of Liberty's hair. Although the surfaces do show very minor abrasions, overall, this is one of the choicer 1853-C gold dollars. Not specifically mentioned by Douglas Winter in his roster of finest examples, he notes only one MS-63 example, another graded MS-60 to 63, and the balance of Mint State examples all in the MS-60 range. Winter further notes that this is one of the rarest Charlotte Mint gold dollars in Mint State condition. Only 11,515 minted. Pop 8; 2 in 63 as best by PCGS. (PCGS # 7522) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
