1857 G$1 MS67+ Certification #05175618, PCGS #7544
Owner's Comments
CAC Approved. A superb 1857 Gold Dollar with exceptionally well-preserved surfaces and deep, vibrant luster. Rich yellow-gold coloration dominates, complemented by subtle hints of white-gold and deeper golden accents that add depth and character. The strike is sharp and well-defined, with only the faintest softness at the center of the reverse, while the remarkably clean surfaces and strong frosted-satin luster give the coin outstanding originality and eye appeal.
Expert Comments
David Akers (1975/88)
As a date, the 1857 is one of the more common gold dollars. However, really choice uncirculated specimens are surprisingly difficult to obtain. As one can see from the data, in the 192 auction catalogues tallied only 25 uncirculated pieces were offered. Contrast this for example to the 1877 where 42 uncirculated pieces were offered, or the 1880 where 83 uncs. were offered in the 192 sales. Yet, inexplecably, the 1857 invariably sells at a common date price.PCGS #
