Lot Title: 1851-C NGC MS-62.
Description: 1851-C is known as the Charlotte gold dollar most commonly available in uncirculated grades, and excellent surface preservation and plentiful mint luster leave no doubt as to the Mint State status of the present example. Prodigious lemon yellow color infuses the coin with bright luminosity, and the strike is superlative, though not quite full, for a coin of this branch mint. Planchet roughness is typically seen on coins struck on Charlotte stock, though in this case, it seems isolated to the far right side of the obverse. Indeed, the rather pristine surfaces and unabraded fields would appear to make this a very high-end example for the assigned grade, especially since the cheek and portrait are virtually without blemish. Variety collectors will note the die-crack connecting "F" with "AM" on the reverse.
Low Estimate: $3,800.00
High Estimate: $4,200.00

1851-C ANACS AU-53.
Careful examination with a loupe suggests that this was a somewhat more heavily toned gold coin at one time, relieved at some point of a majority of the darker patina that has some remnants still...

1851-C NGC MS-61.
