<B>1859-C G$1 MS61 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 11-M. The 1859-C is a challenging gold dollar in all grades. Out of the original mintage of 5,235 pieces, only a handful are certified in Mint State. It is the scarcest collectible C-mint gold dollar, second only to the 1849-C Open Wreath. The 1859-C is generally known to have problematic surfaces similar to the 1858-C; that is, numerous die chips and planchet splits. This is an uncommonly clean example whose problems are limited to intermittent weakness on the denticles. The obverse is just slightly soft on Liberty's hair curls, and the reverse is completely brought up on the wreath with softness localized on that side to DOLLAR and the date. The surfaces are hazy with orange-golden patina, and there are no mentionable abrasions on either side.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
