1862 Gold Dollar NGC AU55 CAC. A popular civil war date of the smallest gold denomination. 1,361,355 pieces were struck, making this the last large mintage before coinage decreased following the civil war.

The present piece is a slightly circulated coin. Somewhat weakly struck on the reverse, a common characteristic of these small coins, considerable luster shows on both sides. Obvious handling signs show, although not much distracting, this coin is well worth the sticker CAC awarded to it.
