An extraordinary SUPERB GEM 1859 gold dollar, among the highest graded at either service. Despite a sizable mintage of 168,244, this date is incredibly rare in GEM grades and extremely rare in such a lofty state of preservation. Seductive, bright, brilliant, yellow gold surfaces have an outstanding luster that billows from all over. The fields are satiny smooth, free of any distractions of any kind. The devices are incredibly well struck and this tiny golden jewel is a marvelous beauty with tons of eye appeal. PCGS 4, NGC 3, CAC 3. Only a single PCGS-graded MS67 has ever sold in auction, realizing $12,925 in March 2016. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $15,700 and the Collectors Universe value is listed at $14,500. Just two are graded finer, both MS68+. What a great looking coin that is bound for a great collection of gold dollars. Cert. Number 39226500 PCGS # 7551.00
