***Auction Highlight*** 1857-c Charlotte Gold Dollar $1 Grades Select Unc. Up for auction is a Numismatic Rarity and a treasured find. An 1857 Charlotte $1 Gold Princess in Uncirculated Condition.. The 1857-c is generally not found in the best of conditions. To quote David Akers and Doug Winter of PCGS �The 1857-C is typically seen in Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades. It is a very scarce issue in properly graded About Uncirculated with most examples grading no better than AU50 to AU53. The 1857-C is rare in AU55 and very rare in properly graded AU58. In Mint State, It is among the rarest Charlotte gold dollars. I am aware of only two or three that I consider to be legitimately Mint State and none of these are especially choice.� and �STRIKE: The 1857-C gold dollar generally shows a very poor strike. The hair is quite weak with many areas showing no definition whatsoever. The plumes are very faint while the feathers are sharper than one might expect. The border shows weakness on the denticles but most are present. On the reverse, the wreath shows better detail at the top at the bottom. The bow knot tends to be particularly weak and this is often mistaken for wear. The date is usually weak on the 85 while the OL in DOLLAR is blurry. The denticles are less defined than on the obverse and they may show noticeable areas of die rust. I have never seen an example that I considered to be sharply struck. SURFACES: This issue is almost always found with severe mint-made planchet defects. The obverse fields have an irregular almost �wavy� look while the reverse is frequently very rough at the center. I have seen many 1857-C gold dollars with what appear to be �strips� of roughness around the head of Liberty. There are a few known with reasonably choice surfaces and these are very rare.� and finally �The planchets used for striking 1857-C gold dollars were downright atrocious, as was the quality of minting. Even the best available specimens look terrible, and are very difficult to grade. Once again, one must look at the quality of the surfaces and the mint luster rather than at the typical grading points that one would examine on say an 1857� The example at hand has nice luster and is typical for the grade. Per PCGS, only 3 examples are known in Unc, and only 175 survive in all grades. I wish you luck in obtaining this uncirculated 1857-c, and in becoming one of less than 5 people that own such. I have included pictures of two ms62 examples. I believe ours is superior, and is�.The Finest Known. Trends for this ultra rarity are ms62 $20,000, ms61 $15,0000, ms60 $11,0000 A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin
