1853-O G$1 MS62 NGC. NGC Census: (206/133). PCGS Population (71/70). Mintage: 290,000. Numismedia Wsl. Price: $850.(#7524)(Registry values: N1793) (NGC ID# 25BX, PCGS# 7524) Liberty Gold Dollar Type 1 MS62 The issue is usually well struck but occasionally has a grainy mint luster. The 1853-O is the easiest New Orleans gold dollar to obtain in all grades, even though the mintage is the same as the 1851-O. Still, it is much rarer than coins from the Philadelphia Mint of the same era. Even though lower-grade coins are relatively readily available, gem examples of the date are quite rare. Very few gems have sold at public auction over the last decade. Just a few have been graded as superb; these are closely held by collectors. The single NGC MS 67 example has not appeared at auction.
