- 1857-D Gold Dollar. Winter 9-L, the only known dies. AU-55 (NGC). Handsome bright golden-wheat surfaces retain appreciable luster in the fields, especially on the obverse. The strike is characteristic of the issue, the obverse bold to sharp throughout and the reverse soft through the center with portions of the wreath noticeably blunt. Remarkably smooth in hand for both the issue and the assigned grade. Specialists David Akers and Doug Winter agree that the 1857-D is one of the most underrated of all Type III gold dollars. The mintage is greater than for the 1854-D, 1855-D and 1856-D, yet still tiny at 3,533 pieces with survivors much scarcer than generally realized. Perhaps just 225 examples are known today in all grades, and Mint State coins are very much in the minority. The issue ranks eighth in both overall and high grade rarity among Dahlonega Mint gold dollars, and it is more elusive in all grades than the 1849-D, 1851-D, 1853-D, 1858-D and 1859-D. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. PCGS# 7546. NGC ID: 25CF. Click here for certification details from NGC.
