1856 G$1 Slanted 5 PR (PCGS#7606)

The January 2013 Americana Sale

详细说明: 1856 Gold Dollar. Slant 5. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. One of the very rare early Proofs from this popular series, with less than ten known today (PCGS estimates that between seven and nine are known in all). The color is classic orange-gold with hints of copper in the mirror fields while the frosty devices show lighter yellow-gold on Liberty and the wreath. Fully struck and well preserved with minimal signs of handling in the fields. There is fairly strong contrast on the devices too, and this may well have been certified prior to PCGS making the various distinctions between the contrast levels. Regardless, this is a prohibitively rare coin that represents the third style revision of the Gold dollar type, this with the large planchet size (width) combined with the broad head of Liberty. An exceptional rarity and destined for an advanced collection.
