1851-C[G$1] MS65 PCGS.
<B>1851-C<G$1> MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 4-D. A late die state, there is a reverse die break atop OF AM in the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This issue's original mintage of 41,267 pieces is greater than that of all other Type One Gold Dollars from the Charlotte Mint <I>combined.</B></I> Not surprisingly, the 1851-C is the most plentiful Gold Dollar from this popular Southern branch mint. When viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics, however, the mintage of the 1851-C seems low. What's more, Winter's estimate of 65-75 pieces extant in Mint State is the sign of a conditionally scarce, if not rare issue. This is one of the better produced C-mint gold coins that we can remember handling. The obverse is typically sharper than the reverse, but even the latter side is bold throughout. Both sides are attractively toned with rich copper-orange shades dominating selected protected areas. There are a few small identifying marks: a thin scratch bisects the two stars at the base of the obverse, and a small patch of marks is seen above the LA of DOLLAR in the reverse field. A conditionally rare offering for the C-mint gold specialist. Population: 6 in 65, 2 finer (3/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
