***Auction Highlight*** 1857-c Ty 3 Charlotte TOP POP Gold Dollar $1 Graded Select Unc By USCG. HIGHLIGHT OF THE ENTIRE AUCTON - Up for auction is an amazing and wonderfully struck 1857-c Gold Dollar, Tied for finest known, and clearly better struck than those it is tied with, Variety 1. The only known variety. This date was the first Charlotte Mint issue to feature the Type Three design. For unknown reasons the 1857-C gold dollar is much rarer than its 13,280-piece mintage would suggest. Mint State coins are extremely rare, with fewer than 10 specimens known, none of which are better than MS62.The 1857-C has the dubious distinction of being one of the worst struck in the series. The present MS62 coin, while not fully struck, transcends that profile. Liberty's hair and plumes display better detail than usually seen, as do the bow knot, all of the date digits, and all letters in DOLLAR are fully struck. Virtually none of the usual planchet roughness is visible on the gold-orange surfaces, that usually plague this poorly produced issue. This particular offering is among the finest 1857-C gold dollars that is likely to be encountered. I have included the two other 1857-c Examples that are graded ms62. I think you will find ours finer.
