1853-D Gold Dollar ($1)

Radiant yellow gold with hints of coppery warmth, this example shows lively satiny luster in the fields and only the lightest high point friction - a true slider look and a genuine 58. Surfaces are notably original and evenly colored, with crisp rims and letters and an overall clean appearance for the issue. A tiny dark fleck nestled in the left reverse wreath is the only item of note and is minor. Eye appeal is strong for a tougher Dahlonega issue, aided by the uniform glow and balanced wear. Housed in an NGC holder.
