1859-D Dollar now in The Findlay Ridge Collection

FatMan

This Type III dollar is the latest addition to my D-Mint 9 pc. type set. All comments welcome.

Only one more (1838-D $5) to finish the set. So far it has been a wonderful four year journey.

Thanks for the kind words.

The 59-D is one of the more common Dahlonega Type III dollars with a mintage of 4952.

Very nice 59-D. Love the toning. Makes a great addition to your type set. Good luck on bagging the 38. It took me almost 9 years to complete my set. I hope you find the right coin faster that that.

Congratulations on the new acquisition. You have far more discipline than most, and your collection will reflect that attribute.

And it is not easy being patient waiting for the right coins to come along. It has been over a year since my last Dahlonega gold purchase. Now that I am down to only one left it could take a couple of years.

I have built my collection on the premise that originality is more important than grade. And with Dahlonega gold originality is a tall order. Nearly all have been messed with in one way or another over the years. I'm not suggesting that each coin in my set is completely original, but when looking at originality on a continuum, my goal is to stay within the top 10%.
