Description

1851 Gold Dollar, NGC MS-64. This 1851 Gold Dollar represents an important early issue from the first decade of the Type 1 Gold Dollar series, which debuted in 1849. The Gold Dollar was America's smallest circulating gold coin, struck in response to the California Gold Rush and designed to facilitate commerce during the period of abundant precious metal production. The present example has been certified by NGC as MS-64, indicating a choice Mint State specimen with attractive surfaces and minimal imperfections consistent with the grade. The coin exhibits the characteristic design elements of the Type 1 issue, featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle within a wreath on the reverse. An 1851 Gold Dollar in this condition represents a desirable example for type collectors and those seeking early gold coinage from the mid-nineteenth century.
