An attractive and very original Type III Proof gold dollar struck in the year leading up to the Civil War. The delicate cameo features of this piece are without a shred of doubt beautiful, and the reflectivity of the fields is open, glowing, and free of the usual hazy film or toning. Aside from some trivial hairlines here and there, no major marks or scratches are noted on this major rarity. A few more Proof gold dollars were produced in 1860-1861 than all of the other years from this decade combined, but of these, many are believed to have been melted at the mint shortly thereafter. In 1860, 154 were recorded in the Mint's ledger but collector demand was weak and only a fraction of this original mintage ended up in collections. It may be that as few as 30 or exist today; the census reports point to an even lower figure. A very scarce issue in any condition.
