<B>1851 G$1 MS67 NGC.</B></I> For the first time since the inception of the denomination in 1849, gold dollar production at the Philadelphia Mint topped 1 million coins in 1851. A staggering total of 3.3 millions coins were produced, and, as one might surmise from this mintage figure, the 1851-P is a popular and readily obtainable coin for type purposes. Of course, at the MS67 level, this issue is a significant condition rarity. A simply breathtaking Superb Gem, the surfaces are overlaid with coruscating mint frost that exhibits a subtle steel-gray and orange-gold color. We have no doubt about this coin's originality, and the razor sharp striking definition enhances the already memorable eye appeal. Census: 4 in 67, 4 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
