Lot 1451
1858-D $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded MS-62. A nice full strike with all letters and numerals complete. Attractive honey color golden surfaces. This is another choice Dahlonega Mint gold dollar, with the obverse well struck, save for the very highest points of the hair and ostrich feathers; smooth rolling luster, heavy lettering (as almost always seen), and bold appearance -- very praiseworthy. The reverse also does itself justice in featuring nice striking on the wreath, date and legends, with no traces of the minting irregularities sometimes found on other D-mint dates. As has been mentioned before, in the field of Charlotte and Dahlonega coins, aesthetic beauty far surpasses mere numerical condition. And it is here that the present coin scores high on all counts, generating a truly memorable experience for the auction bidder. Pop 15; 10 finer, 7 in 63, 1 in 64, 2 in 66 (PCGS # 7549) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
