Message:: [QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 25401071, member: 101855"]Here goes some of them. The 1849-D gold dollar is fairly common in MS-62. The look is often similar to this. Some of them were saved because they were "the first of their kind. [ATTACH=full]1626703[/ATTACH] The 1850-D is really a tough coin. Many of them, like this one are flatly struck. Do I wish I had a better one? Yes, but that takes a lot of hunting a very strong checkbook. [ATTACH=full]1626704[/ATTACH] The 1851-D is a tough date, but I should have waited on this one. The piece is has original, never cleaned surfaces, but too many marks. [ATTACH=full]1626705[/ATTACH] This 1852-D is very pleasant. I wish that all of my gold dollars looked this nice. [ATTACH=full]1626706[/ATTACH] The first Dahlonega coin I have ever saw was ann 1853-D gold dollar. I was 11 years old. I could not get over how small it was. This IS NOT that coin, but I remember the first one I saw quite well. [ATTACH=full]1626708[/ATTACH] The 1854-D has long been touted as a "major rarity." Walter Breen claimed that there were less than 20. There are a good deal more than that perhaps as many as 100. Still that's scarce. This has no problems, but does have some wear. [ATTACH=full]1626709[/ATTACH] This is my type coin for the Type III gold dollar from the Dahlonega Mint. This is a really nice coin. I'd love to own an 1861-D some day, but the price increases are fast leaving me in the dust. The last one I saw was priced at $65,000 which I thought was too much for the grade. It would be a super bargain today. [ATTACH=full]1626710[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
