1861 G$1 Gold Dollar PCGS MS63 CAC. Certified by PCGS in one of the old green holders and recently stickered by CAC for exceptional quality this is a quality coin that is not easily found in the current market. Dated in the Civil War these have become increasingly more popular, and will certainly gain more followers when the sesquicentennial of the Civil War in 2011 is approaching. As such, this would be a good period to invest in these pieces and put them away for a couple of years

This piece is a survivor of an original mintage of 527,150 pieces, of which many were melted after the Civil War. The devices are sharply impressed with no major marks except for those consistent with the grade. Both sides are lightly toned to a nice yellow/light-brown color which appears to be completely original. A very nice coin and suitable for either a Mint State type set, a gold dollar set or a specialized set of American Civil War coinage.
