- 1850-D Gold Dollar. Winter-2, the only known dies. AU-55 (NGC).
This is a handsome coin with blended reddish-rose highlights to dominant deep honey-orange color. Generally not a well struck issue, the detail here is soft both in isolated central and peripheral areas, although overall definition is bold enough to be pleasing in hand. Lustrous for the grade and sure to please the discerning Southern gold enthusiast. Gold dollar production at the Dahlonega Mint fell off markedly in the second year of this series, a total of 8,382 coins struck for the 1850-D probably more accurately reflecting demand from local bullion depositors than the 21,588-piece mintage achieved for the 1849-D. The 1850-D is one of the rarer Dahlonega Mint gold dollars, especially in grades above EF. The second edition of Q. David Bowers' Guide Book of Gold Dollars(2011) notes, "True Mint State coins are so rare as to be virtually unobtainable." Doug Winter (2013) adds that the 1850-D "remains underrated and undervalued in all grades." Choice About Uncirculated examples such as this, while very scarce in their own right, represent the finest in quality that most advanced Southern gold enthusiasts can hope to obtain for this issue.
Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
