1889. PCGS graded MS-68. CAC Approved. PQ. From the final year of the denomination, this date saw a paltry 28,950 business strikes produced. Many Gem examples of the 1889 date are extant as few were ever released into actual circulation. Oddly enough, an XF or AU example is probably much scarcer than a Gem specimen. We note that just three other examples of the date have been certified MS-68 by PCGS. Splendid reddish-orange surfaces are vividly toned over smooth, vibrant, softly frosted luster. A boldly defined Superb Gem with exceptional eye appeal. Pop 4; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7590) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000.

1857-C. PCGS graded MS-62. PQ. The 1857-C is important as the first Charlotte issue of the Type Three gold dollar design, none having been coined in 1856. By this time, the demand for the gold dollar denomination was waning, perhaps due to the proliferation of pieces also made in the South by the Bechtler family. Whatever the indication, those depositing gold bullion called for higher denominations during this period, most often the half eagle. As it developed, no Charlotte gold dollars were struck in 1858 either.

Only one die pairing for the 1857-C gold dollar was used to coin 13,280 pieces. This is a difficult date in all grades and extremely rare as a Mint State example. The present MS62 example is presently one of the five finest seen by either PCGS or NGC. Both sides display considerable yellow-gold luster and an above-average strike on the design elements, though portions of Liberty's hair and the digits of the date are soft. A couple of planchet defects are noted on each side, a usual characteristic of this issue.
Pop 1; none finer at both services. (PCGS # 7545) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.

1873. Closed 3. PCGS graded AU-58. CAC Approved. In 1873, the Closed 3 variety was issued for just a short time before new dies were ordered for most denominations with a more Open 3 style, to eliminate possible confusion. The Closed 3 appears very much like an 8 at first glance. With a scant mintage of just 1,800 pieces for circulation, not many remain today. Attractive copper-gold surfaces with residual luster in the protected areas. Pop 13; 51 finer. Lightly toned (PCGS # 7574) .
Estimated Value $750 - 800.

1869. PCGS graded AU-58. CAC Approved. Deep toning occupies selected recesses of the design elements on both sides. Lightly circulated with a few tiny marks on the obverse. The 1869 is a scarcer date with an original mintage of just 5,900 pieces. Pop 17; 72 finer (PCGS # 7568) .
Estimated Value $550 - 600.

1855. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. Natural orange-gold surfaces with some luster in the recesses. Liberty's face and neck are free of scrapes, however, a couple of marks are in the lower right field. Both sides show smooth, light wear. For the collector looking for an eye appealing example, this one should work (PCGS # 7532) .

1875. PCGS graded MS-61. The 1875 gold dollar's incredibly low mintage of just 400 business strikes was the lowest in the entire gold dollar series, 1849 to 1889. Scarce at all grade levels, this Mint State piece will represent a significant acquisition for its new owner. Well struck with yellow-golden color overall, this MS-61 example shows pronounced scuffiness in the fields, probably from extensive bag handling. However, the coin's overall visual appeal still remains very high. Pop 6; 29 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7576) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
