  The 1850-C gold dollar is a very scarce coin. Doug Winter has estimated that there are between 150 and 250 examples known between the collector grades of VF and Mint State. What would you grade this example?

MS 62. And a very wonderful example. Charlotte gold is often mushy and dull in luster. The obverse detail in the hair on your coin is not common.
I love Charlotte gold, and one day I will break down and buy an example. Living in Charlotte about 5 blocks away from where the mint used to operate, it would be a nice to have one some day.
As always, your coins are down right incredible. Thanks for sharing.

PCGS graded this 1855-C gold dollar AU-58. The strike on this coin is well above average. A couple of really dedicated Charlotte Mint collectors were quite impressed with it.

Was going to guess AU-58 as well. Really is a beautiful example.

Yes this one is textbook AU-58. Razor sharp strike and quite a bit of residual luster but also has some signs of light handling
