<B>1857-C G$1 MS61 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 10-L. The 1857-C gold dollar is probably best known for the overall poor quality among the surviving examples. The original mintage was only 13,280 pieces, and today it is believed that a mere 115-125 examples are that are left in all grades. This is one of the finest examples we have handled, with striking details that are far superior to what is usually seen on this challenging issue. That includes complete detailing on the middle digits of the date. The "strips" of roughness frequently found around Liberty's head are present, and they appear to be something more than die clashing. The 1857-C is extremely rare in mint condition, with only a small handful of coins known in MS60 or finer grades. Bright yellow-gold color with minimal abrasions for an MS61. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
