1853 $1 Liberty Head Gold MS-65 PCGS CAC
In 1853, the Philadelphia Mint struck more than four million gold dollars, a tiny but vital denomination of United States currency. This particular specimen survives in an extraordinary state of preservation, certified as Mint State 65 (MS-65). It stands as a brilliant testament to mid-nineteenth-century American coinage, retaining the crisp details of its original manufacture. The obverse of the coin features a classic profile of Liberty, her hair bound in a coronet. On the reverse, the coin displays the denomination of 1 Dollar alongside the year 1853, surrounded by the legend of the issuing nation, United States of America. Struck with a composition of 90 percent gold, this diminutive coin contains 0.0484 troy ounces of precious metal, packing immense historical charm into a diameter of just a few millimeters.
