Lot Title:
|
1856 NGC AU-58.
|
Description:
|
The value of 1856 is scarcely distinguishable from that of all but the most common three-dollar gold issues, and it is most often used as a type coin. In particular, the present example, properly graded AU-58 by NGC, is ideal for such purposes, since it provides deft sharpness and practically a full complement of cartwheel luster. In fact, at first glance, this is virtually an uncirculated coin, with only minuscule contact marks and modest rub proving otherwise. Sunny gold color is just about as close to perfect as one could hope for.

1856 PCGS VF-35 OGH.
|
Housed in an old green-label PCGS holder, the grade of just VF-35 definitely seems too low for this lovely and original gold coin. There is certainly too much luster to allow for such a low... |

1856 AU-50.

This slightly circulated specimen still retains luxuriant mint luster that is augmented by a delightful orange blush. Perhaps it was lightly dipped, but if so, it is not an impairment to its visual... |
