  That’s a beauty! Sadly, I cannot contribute since I do not own a 1 dollar gold piece.

  PCGS MS67+ w/CAC
  

  

  Here’s Type 2 (with clash marks), bought as PCGS MS63, with CAC, then upgraded by PCGS to MS63+ upon “Reconsideration”. For $3, CAC automatically reapplied their sticker since Cert Number remained unchanged.

  The 1850-C gold dollar is one of the scarcer Charlotte pieces. Doug Winter estimates that the surviving population is 150 to 250 pieces. This is graded AU-58. I bought this one from a generalist dealer who happened to have it in stock.

  It's either a counterfeit or it's been used for jewelry. My gut tells me it's the latter, but you did well to avoid it.

  The 1851-C gold dollar is the most common Charlotte Mint gold dollar. It's even available in Mint State.

  Does anyone wish to explain to the Newbies how a coin with a long scratch on the neck can be straight graded?

  Insider, that is an excellent question. Having no answer myself, do you have any observations?

  Possibly it’s a line of dirt and not a scratch? Hard to tell for sure from the picture.
