Specialists in Carson City gold should pay careful attention to this listing. Here's an opportunity to acquire an example of this low-mintage issue (16,767) in the very collectible grade of XF45. There have been only 213 of this issue graded by PCGS. Of those, there are 38 in XF45 with 39 finer.

The vast majority of gold coins minted in Carson City are rare. Even the more plentiful issues of the later years of the CC Mint saw much circulation. That is because gold coins struck in Carson City circulated for day-to-day business as was intended. Despite the opening of the San Francisco Mint in 1854, there were constant complaints about the availability of circulating coinage in the West. It is more than likely that distribution issues kept gold coins from circulating in Western states for several decades, especially small gold and silver denominations. Combine the Western distrust of both banks and paper money, and then you will understand why gold coins saw such heavy circulation there.
