Owner Comments:
1851-D G$1 MS63 NGC. Variety 3-E. It appears that the two varieties of the date, 3-D and 3-E, are about equally plentiful. The 1851-D is a scarce date, with a mintage of only 9,882 coins, although it is actually the second most available Type One gold dollar from Dahlonega.
This amazing piece is one of the finest we have seen, and ranks high in the NGC Census. It is fully brilliant with frosty luster, lovely light yellow surfaces, and sharp design details. Heavy clash marks are visible on both sides of this piece. Census: 5 in 63, 6 finer.
