1853 NGC MS-62, and an 1853-O NGC AU-58.
|
|
Clem Stevens Collection. The reverse of the 1853 appears particularly nice for MS-62, with considerable frosty texture apparent on both sides, though the obverse shows some tiny hairlines darting... |

1853 type 1, 1855 type 2, and an 1862 type 3, all XF.
|
|
Liberty Mast Estate. All the gold dollar types make an appearance in this group of coins purchased in the 1980s by the consignor, and each should grade about XF or so. 1853 has plenty of luster and... |

1853 PCGS AU-58, and an 1857 NGC AU-58.

Samuel Robertson Gold Consignment. More popular for type than for date collectors, a pair of certified coins proudly represent two separate types for the gold dollar series in this group, both... |

|
1853 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Deeply struck, with well furrowed lines in Liberty's hair and a stronger date than usual for an 1853 gold dollar. Peripheral stars exhibit outstanding central definition, and the majority of contact... |

|
1853 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Barbara U'Dell Gold Collection. The consignor's main focus was merely to invest in common gold, yet this gold dollar at the MS-62 grade seems anything but common in appearance. Both sides feature a... |

| 862 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $625.00 |
|
1853 ICG MS-63.
|
|
The date pops up off the field in full relief, unlike many examples that were inaccurately struck in the same area, so yeah, this could be, this might be... it is! a very sharp little coin. Smooth,... |

| 863 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,050.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-64 (green label).
|
|
Lusty sharpness includes full details everywhere except at the very center of a few stars, and the top of the last digits in the date. Potent luster contributes mightily to the impressive eye-appeal.... |
|
| 771 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $300.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-60 (green label).
|
|
Poorly struck and lackluster, the obverse also displays mottled weird toning and numerous marks in the left field. The reverse all by itself grades MS-63. If the coin doesn't sound especially... |
|
| 772 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $553.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Bright with gleaming yellow-gold luster and very well struck details. Liberty's cheek is smooth as if from friction, and profuse but delicate linear abrasions in the fields undoubtedly determine the... |
|
| 773 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $3,100.00 |
|
1853 NGC MS-65.
|
|
Potent details jump up off of beautiful satiny surfaces, and even the middle digits of the date on the reverse are well defined; this is a frequent trouble spot for type-1 dollars. Minuscule copper... |
|
| 762 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $825.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Hands down, this gold dollar is far more attractive than the usual MS-63. Vibrant luster twinkles around an unseen axis on either side, and the color is forged of beautiful, deep bronze-gold color,... |

| 763 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $825.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Gold dollars for 1853 were struck to the tune of over four million pieces -- a rather staggering sum given the precious metal content and denomination, and it is no wonder that so many survive. ... |
|
| 913 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $200.00 |
|
1853 NGC AU-58.
|
|
What appears to be an uncirculated gold dollar at arm's length justifies the NGC "slider" grade upon further examination, as there is minor friction across the portrait as expected of the AU-58 grade.... |
|
| 914 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $260.00 |
|
1853 ANACS MS-61.
|
|
Positive attributes include a strike that is bold on both sides, since most often, only one side of the other is well struck on a gold dollar. This is a satiny coin that feels nicer than the assigned... |
|
| 915 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $370.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Without doubt, this is a much better than average gold dollar for strike, since both sides are equally very sharp and pleasing from that standpoint. Every star is fully segmented. While entirely... |

| 916 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $380.00 |
|
1853 NGC MS-62.
|
|
This attractive, problem-free gold dollar simply looks like it could easily grade MS-63, as there are no blemishes of note, and plenty of luster spills out of the fields. The truncation of the bust... |
|
| 917 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $825.00 |
|
1853 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Perfectly graded, if not slightly conservatively so, since there are few marks of consequence. Liberty's cheek displays a couple of tiny abrasions, but no rim dings are apparent on either side. ... |
|
| 918 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $750.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
This is a very pretty gold dollar, one that benefits from a superior strike for the type, and pleasing velvet luster consistently disseminated across each side. Most times, a gold dollar may be... |

| 919 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $1,400.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Occasionally, PCGS does something to earn their reputation for grading conservatively, and that seems to be the case with this 1853 gold dollar. Taking into account the fact it was struck off of... |
|
| 720 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $525.00 |
|
1853 MS-60 and 1874 MS-60.
|
|
A pair of lustrous gold dollars, with the basic MS-60 grade determined by minor hairlines. Two coin lot. |
|
| 721 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,250.00 |
|
1853 NGC MS-64.
|
|
There is quite a divergence in quality between MS-60 and MS-64 for gold dollars, and the advantages of the upper grades become obvious as one takes the time to examine many coins in mint-state grades.... |
|
| 1050 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $190.00 |
|
1853 MS-60.
|
|
Thoroughly lustrous and just faintly abraded, with a few hairlines accounting for the MS-60 (or better) grade. An excellent type coin. |
|
| 1051 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $260.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
A fully choice coin that appears to grade one point higher than the MS-62 assigned by PCGS. The conservative grade was probably held back by a handful of tiny abrasions on Liberty's cheek and some... |
|
| 1053 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $250.00 |
|
1853 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Impressive luster and outstanding surface preservation are suggestive of at least an MS-64 grade, but such consideration is denied by a brief scratch at 10:00 of the obverse, and perhaps a tiny... |
|
| 1054 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $265.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Handling marks likely account for the grade, as this diminutive coin offers pleasing luster and a stellar strike. In fact, all of the stars are intricately defined, and DOLLAR on the reverse -- a... |

|
1853 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
By 1853, the mint had been striking gold dollars for several years, and without a doubt, familiarity bred complacency, as most of the coins were indifferently produced. 1853 has a reputation for being... |

|
1853 NGC MS-61 and 1853-O NGC AU-58.
|
|
As would be expected, the P-mint coin is better struck than the New Orleans issue. Neither coin suffers any blemishes, but both display slightly muted luster, caused by slight circulation in the case... |
|
| 916 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $350.00 |
|
1853 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Frosty, with an unusually attractive lavender sheen on the reverse. Appears to be an undergraded piece at first glance, but though basically mark free otherwise, Liberty’s cheek is perturbed by some... |

1853 PCGS MS-63.

This issue's rich red-orange color complements its exceptionally sharp design definition. Evidence of being struck from slightly rusted dies are seen on Liberty's profile, and some trivial marks are... |

1853 MS-63.
|

Carrot gold luster revolves energetically around both sides of this petite coin, and the surfaces are refreshingly free of any marks or abrasions that would typically deny a Choice grade assessment. ... |

1853 ANACS AU-58, 1853 ANACS AU DETAILS SCRATCHED, and 1854 ANACS...
|
|
With regard to visual appeal, this inviting trio of Type I gold dollars consists of well-matched coins. One 1853 example has been subjected to mishandling, but could be an ideal candidate for a... |

|
1853 MS-60+ 1854 AU-55, and 1862 MS-62+.
|
|
This lot represents a commendable type grouping for this denomination. The 1853 example is a glittering, well-struck Type I example. The 1854 Type II depicts a satiny golden yellow vibrancy, and the... |

This Type I example displays above average design detailing and an exceptional yellow-gold aspect. Light clash marks are evident on its reverse, and there are only a paltry amount of surface marks. |

1853 PCGS MS-63.

This specimen's deep reddish orange radiance manifests an outstanding aesthetic appeal. Minute ticks are perceived on its surfaces, primarily on the reverse as the obverse looks like an MS-64. The... |

1853 PCGS MS-64.

Glowing lustrous surfaces that reflect a lovely, original yellow-gold. Fantastic detail and probably a single mark from being considered MS-65. |
