1857-D $1 Gold Indian
<Our item number 83860><B>1857-D &#36;1 Gold Indian.</B> <B>PCGS graded MS-60.</B> Only 3,533 minted. Light golden toning. Pop 1; 5 in 61; 5 in 62; none finer by PCGS. Normal flat detail on the hair above the brow, the hair curls cascading down the neck, and on the feather puffs -- all due to insufficient pressure from the dies. The rim denticles are typically soft as well, but there is complete, muted luster over both sides. Few collectors ever return from a buying trip bringing with them an early Mint State Dahlonega gold dollar. The simple fact is, these are rare. It doesn&#39;t matter whether you can write a check at the tip of a hat. These simply do not appear on the market with any frequency <B>&#40;PCGS # 7546&#41;</B>. <BR><BR>As described in the main section, in 1857, the Dahlonega Mint delivered a mere 3,533 Gold Dollars. Survivors are elusive in all grades according to Doug Winter, and they probably number no more than 120-130 coins &#40;per Winter, 2003&#41;. Most often seen in VF or EF grades, t he &#39;57-D becomes scarce in the finer circulated grades and downright rare in Mint State as seen in the low population figures. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;8,000-8,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 83860<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083860.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083860N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:glenn@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
