1858-D Gold Dollar. AU Details--Bent (PCGS).An attractive example of this desirable issue despite the noted impairment. The surfaces display vibrant yellow-gold coloration and traces of Mint luster in the protected areas. A file mark near 12 oclock on the reverse rim should be noted. Rarer than the 1849-D, 1851-D and 1859-D in all grades, the 1858-D Gold Dollar was produced to the extent of just 3,477 pieces. Even more important in ascertaining the rarity of examples in todays market, Doug Winter (<em>Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint: 1838-1861</em>, 2003 edition) accounts for only 125-150 survivors in all grades.
