Another gold dollar joins the flock.....wrapped in old white NGC plastic. 1860 was a low mintage year for the gold dollar, only 36 thousand struck at Philadelphia. Enough were on hand...and few were struck. Anyway, a nice year to add to the collection, and puirchased for not much of a premium over common date coins. QDB estimates 200 MS survivors, and 400-700 circulated coins.

This kind of coin will build a great collection.
I will have an 1870 coming in soon, also an NGC MS61...another tough date!
I think undervalued is an understatement!
I have its ugly big sister on my hat.
It's the only "Threeagle" I've ever owned. Even as hideously abused as it was, I had somebody make me an offer on it once, anyway- because it was an 1860.
It might've had a small counterstamp on the obverse, which somebody tried to obliterate.
It's an ugly duckling, but one of my favorite "hat pieces".
gotta love that hole drilling though eh? I looked at one raw gold dollar at the local BM and with my loupe it looked like someone tried really hard to dig through the coin with a needle to make a hole. didnt work, but what a mess...
I got her cousin from San Francisco too....this girl has a lot a Miles on her...I love the low grade and wear,,,,,which is not always possible to find with gold dollars. You will never see a VF 1880. never.
