1856-D $1 Indian Head Gold AU-55 PCGS
1856-D $1 Indian Head Gold AU-55 PCGS
In 1856, the Dahlonega Mint in Georgia struck a remarkably small run of gold dollar coins, producing a mere 1,460 pieces. This tiny mintage makes any surviving specimen an extraordinary find for those who appreciate the early era of United States gold coinage. Designated with the 'D' mint mark, this specific issue represents a fascinating moment in Southern minting history, just years before the facility closed permanently. The obverse of this tiny gold treasure features the distinct Indian Head design, while the reverse displays the denomination of 1 Dollar alongside the year 1856 and the crucial 'D' mint mark. Composed of 90% gold with a pure metal weight of 0.0484 troy ounces, this specimen has survived the generations in About Uncirculated condition, officially graded as AU-55.
