1859-C Gold Dollar. VF Details--Cleaned (PCGS). A historically significant issue, the 1859-C is the final gold dollar produced in the Charlotte Mint. It is also one of the rarest and most challenging to locate in any grade. For starters, the mintage is limited at just 5,235 pieces. Additionally, the vast majority of coins entered commercial channels and remained there until worn out or lost. Finally, the 1859-C rivals the 1855-C as the most poorly produced Charlotte Mint gold dollar. Given all of this, the opportunity to acquire this more affordable mid grade survivor is sure to register with budget minded Southern gold enthusiasts.
