1865 Gold Dollar. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This richly patinated honey-orange gold dollar offers sharp striking detail, nearly full mint luster and pleasing originality for this scarce key date. The 1865 is the final Civil War era gold dollar and its mintage of 3,725 pieces ranks among the lowest for its type. Gold coins disappeared from circulation in the East and Midwest early in 1862 after most Northern banks suspended specie payments during the last few days of 1861. This move was due to the economic uncertainty that followed a series of Union setbacks early in the Civil War that included defeat at the hands of Confederate forces at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861. With little bullion reaching the Philadelphia Mint thereafter, gold dollar production plummeted after a surprisingly high mintage of 1,361,355 circulation strikes in 1862. The 1865 is the rarest circulation strike gold dollar from the Civil War era after only the 1863. Although a small number of Mint State coins are extant, including a few outstanding Superb Gems, the premium About Uncirculated grades hold particular value and appeal for astute gold collectors. Here is a highly desirable coin that is sure to sell for a strong bid. Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS# 7564. NGC ID: 25CZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
