1858-S Gold Dollar. MS-61 (PCGS).Sharply struck throughout, both sides of this gold dollar are mostly satiny with modest hints of semi reflectivity in the fields. The warm golden-orange patina adds to the strong eye appeal for the assigned grade level. As with all early San Francisco Mint gold issues, the 1858-S dollar suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. A low mintage of 10,000 coins and a lack of contemporary numismatic demand further explains why so few Mint State examples have come down to the present day. A significant and underrated condition rarity for the astute gold enthusiast.From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio.
