1857-S. NGC graded VF-35. Only 10,000 minted. Nice golden toning. Type 3 design, in use from 1854 to 1856. San Francisco Mint, when it opened, concentrated on the larger denominations, primarily the $10 and $20. It did, however, strike Gold Type 1 Dollars in 1854 and again beginning regular production during 1856 to 1860, but always in very small numbers, usually between 10,000 and 15,000 pieces per year. All are scarce, including this desirable 1857-S Type 3 (PCGS # 7547) .
Estimated Value $400 - 425.
