Lot 1109 - 1858-D $1 Gold Indian MS61
1858-D $1 Gold Indian. The next owner, undoubtedly a collector who truly prizes his numismatic acquisitions, will be pleased to learn the following about this rare gold dollar: One of an issue of only 10,000. As Akers notes, 'strictly Uncirculated examples are all but non-existent.' Richly lustrous. A treasure of this popular gold series, and still very underrated!" In his Complete Encyclopedia, Walter Breen also observed that this is extremely rare in Mint condition. PCGS supports this contention, as very few Mint quality examples have been certified in all Mint State grades. It is adequately, if not quite sharply struck with smooth yellow-gold color and wisps of orange toning. The surfaces on both sides are fully lustrous if somewhat mellowed with age. Very sharp hair and wreath, only the ribbon bow on the reverse lacks detail. PCGS serial #21273827. (#7549)
