G$1 1861-D NGC MS-65

WOW! The quality and rarity are unequaled in any other Gold Dollar you could find!

Both sides have a strong unbroken luster. There are NO visible imperfections. The color is a gorgeous deeper orange/yellow gold. Miss Liberty and the details are all remarkably struck. It looks more like an 1880 than a 147 year old perfectly stored GEM!

The 1861-D is the rarest and most famous gold dollar from this Southern mint. It is also the single most coveted coin from Dahlonega, as it is the only regular issue that was produced entirely by the Confederacy. After the Mint was seized in April 1861, between 1,000 and 1,500 examples were struck by CSA forces. It is unlikely that more than five to six dozen are known today.

The next two coins below it (a 64+63) and impounded in major collections. This is not a condition rarity. Way back when (about 20 year ago) this was a big ticket coin (about $35,000.00 when you could buy a 1913 Liberty 5C for $100,000.00) and was eagerly sought after for its Mint mark. The price really hasn’t risen as sharply as it has for other classic rarities. Regardless, this remarkable Civil War treasure will bring its next time keeper much gratification and happiness.
