Owner Comments:

Variety 8-k. Only 1,460 gold dollars were struck, all from the same set of dies. This is one of the most challenging Dahlonega issues for any denomination. Gold dollar specialist Doug Winter estimates the surviving population is somewhere between 75 and 100 coins. Uncirculated coins are very rare with possibly only 6 or 7 representatives still existing.
