Lot 1214
1859-D $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded AU-58. A rare coin in this grade, the 1859-D was struck as the Civil War was about to unfold. Virtually the entire issue was spent, and most were lost or melted in the next few decades. PCGS has graded 21 in various mint state grades, with just 11 graded this high. Well struck throughout, the dies were hastily prepared and some of the reverse letters are filled. Nice luster and average surfaces, with just a bit of wear.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
