Ron Guth: “this date offers the best value for anyone looking for a superb Gold Dollar”
Take this opportunity to acquire a golden treasure from the days of the Old West and the California Gold Rush. NGC has graded 867 as MS64 with 289 finer. Collectors Universe prices this issue at $1,250.00 in MS64.
Gold specialist David Akers tells us, “The mintage [4,076,951] indicates it and the auction data confirms it: This is far and away the most common United States gold dollar. It is readily available in all grades including gem uncirculated.” That is what makes it more affordable in its assigned grade of MS64.
This piece would be the perfect addition to the collection of a Gold Rush enthusiast, for this issue was crafted with California gold. Ron Guth writes on PCGS Coinfacts, “Based on Population Report data, the 1853 Gold Dollar is THE most common date of the series - by far …. For type collectors, this date offers the best value for anyone looking for a superb Gold Dollar.”
