Gold Dollars
1864 G$1 MS67 ★ NGC. Gold was a precious commodity during the Civil War, no longer available from banks that stopped pay out gold coinage at the end of 1861. A few months later, there were no coins of any metal in circulation, and the Mint reduced production to extremely low levels. In 1864, for example, only 5,900 circulation strikes and 50 proofs were minted. This Superb Gem is far finer than the majority of examples we have handled, trailing by only slightly behind the sensational and nearly perfect MS69 piece from the Duckor Collection. Both sides of this lovely yellow and orange-gold example are prooflike with fully mirrored fields around frosty devices. Census: 6 in 67 (1 in 67★), 4 finer (3/17).
