詳細說明

1863 Gold Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS). An unsung rarity in the Type III gold dollar series, the 1863 has a paltry circulation strike production of 6,200 pieces. Most examples were likely hoarded and then melted during the height of the Civil War, and survivors are elusive in all grades. Writing in the 2008 edition of the book <em>Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins: 1795-1933</em>, in fact, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth state, ""With the exception of the extremely rare 1849-C Open Wreath, fewer examples of this date have been graded by NGC and PCGS than any other [gold dollar]."" Satiny medium gold surfaces are sharply impressed and uncommonly free of significant abrasions at the BU grade level. A rare find for the advanced gold dollar collector.
