Lot 645
1859-D $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded AU-55. Only 4,952 were struck this year, making this one of the many tough dates to locate. To find one in high grade is a real problem for the advanced numismatist. Here is a lustrous example that boasts clean surfaces and as well as a high grade. The strike is weak, as nearly always seen. Weakness is noted on some of the obverse letters, the 85 of the date, and the lower wreath area. None have been seen above a grade of choice mint state, making this piece well up in the top 50 known of the date to survive. Don't expect to find another one anytime soon.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
