1853 NGC AU-58 Type I Gold Dollar Coin
The Type I Gold Dollar Coin from 1853 holds significant numismatic value.
The US Mint first struck them in 1849 with a gold content of .04837 oz, designed for regular circulation with legal tender status and a one-dollar denomination.
The production of the Type I Gold Dollar continued until 1854.
Many Type I Gold Dollar coins were lost during the economic collapse of the 1930s, similar to other Pre-1933 Gold Coins. Due to rising gold prices, these coins were hoarded and melted, enhancing their historical and numismatic value.
Today, SD Bullion offers the 1853 NGC AU-58 Type I Gold Dollar Coin, encapsulated and graded as AU-58 by NGC.
