Mintage: 9,982. Liberty Coronet. First minted in 1849, at 13mm this is the smallest of all United States coins. A conditionaly rare issue in AU55 with a total coins known in all grades of 150-175.

Uncountalbe clashmarks to the left of Lady Liberty gives her a "broken nose" look. Original yellow gold and good strike withstanding, this issue is degraded by poor lustre and clashmarks. Very difficult to find nice looking 52-D'S
Nice golden toning with only slight wear on the hair above the ear and the "1" on the reverse. Stars and all devices boldly struck. A rare Dahlonega type one gold dollar
This date seems to have many coins with contact marks, dings, and mint made problems. The present piece is no exception as it has a number of dings and contact marks on the obverse, but a nice strike. The reverse has die scratches but otherwise has good strike and decent luster.
Mintage: 1,811. Indian Princess. Complaints that the gold dollar was too small caused a redesign in 1854. A collosal mistake of design by James Longacre with weak strikes of virtually all coins from all five mints. This issue has a weak 8 in the date, as with most 55's, otherwise nice detail and gold toning with some reflectiveness noted around the devices. As attractive as a 55-D can get. The rarest of all Dahlonega gold dollars. From the North Georgia Collection.

The 56-D creation is the third rarest coin behind the 55-D and 61-D. This piece has smooth overall wear with nice gold toning. The U in United is weak, as usual, but the date is complete with slight weakness. Eye appeal can be difficult with the issue but is nice for this specimen.

1858-D G$1 MS61 PCGS. Variety 10-M. A single die pair is known for the scant mintage of 3,477 pieces. The present example has peach-gold toning around design elements while the high points and open fields are gunmetal-blue. No marks are visible, though a J-shaped strike-though, as made and often seen on the issue, is near the ED in UNITED. The strike is above average for a Dahlonega emission, with blending evident on the 5 in the date and the leaf above the right ribbon end. The reverse displays a triple set of clash marks from Liberty's profile

Mintage: 4,952. Indian Princess (Large Head) The design blunder by Longacre brought about the immediate redesign of the gold dollar once again in 1856. An improvement, but incomplete strikes still evident at branch mints. This example has bright yellow golden toning with only trace of wear. Near full strike, nice frosty luster, and eye appeal. A rare issue in AU58. Total coins known 150-175.

Mintage:1120. Princess Three Dollar. Due to a reduction in postal rates from 5-cents to 3-cents Congress authorized the minting of three dollar gold pieces. This lone emmission from the frontier Dahlonega Mint is exceptional in golden, green gold coloration and notable for its excessively rare full strike. A choice piece always in demand.

Mintage 20,583. Classic Half Eagle. Gold fever hit the country in the late 1820's as the yellow metal was discovered in Georgia and North Carolina.

The 1838 Classic half eagle was the first coin produced at the frontier Dahlonega Mint. This coin exhibits beautiful golden tone, semiprooflike surfaces, and fantastic eye appeal.
