1853 G$1

Description

1853 Gold Dollar, NGC MS-64. This 1853 Gold Dollar represents a significant example from the early years of the Type 1 gold dollar series, which debuted in 1849. The gold dollar was America's smallest circulating gold denomination and remains highly collectible today. This particular specimen has been certified by NGC with a grade of MS-64, indicating a coin that is well-struck with attractive luster and only light imperfections consistent with the assigned grade. The 1853 date falls within the popular early period of gold dollar production, when these diminutive coins were actively minted for commerce. Specimens in Mint State condition are increasingly challenging to locate, as most examples saw circulation or have been subject to the effects of time and handling. An MS-64 example offers the collector an opportunity to acquire a pleasing, near-gem representative of this iconic series with strong eye appeal and solid technical quality.
