1850-O Gold Dollar. MS-61 (NGC).A flashy Uncirculated example from this desirable New Orleans issue. The complexion is toned in subtle blend of medium-gold hues with traces of original patina remaining in the protected areas. Sharply struck and fully lustrous. A paltry mintage of 14,000 pieces helps to explain why the 1850-O is the scarcest gold dollar from this Southern coinage facility,. Mint State survivors are particularly elusive, much more so than those of the 1851-O and 1853-O, and they represent fleeting bidding opportunities for the specialist whenever one appears at auction.NGC Census: 47; 26 finer.
