Description
The 1850 (C) Liberty Gold Dollar is a Gold Dollar produced at the Charlotte Mint as part of the Liberty Head Gold Dollars 1849-1854 series. With a mintage of 6,966, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 4 mint variants, representing only 1% of total production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, encircled by a wreath and the reverse displays a wreath enclosing the denomination 1 DOLLAR and the date. Gold Rush-era production at Philadelphia, Charlotte, Dahlonega, New Orleans, and San Francisco. The tiny 13mm coins were easily lost. Struck at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina, which struck gold coins from 1838 until the Civil War closed it in 1861 — all Charlotte mint coins are scarce. Estimated market value ranges from $2.6K to $31K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 1.7 grams, 12.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7510.
