This piece has a lot going for it: a beautiful look, a great price, and the legacy of the Wild West all wrapped up in one $5 gold piece! This specimen is from the salad days of the Carson City mint, for a short two years later the doors of that legendary building were shut forever. Out of its original mintage of 208,000, there have been 2,220 graded by NGC. And of those there are 258 in AU58 (as of 5/2021). That makes it more of a bargain for you, the collector who wants a relic from the American frontier at a price that won't break the bank. Imagine what it would be like to own this artifact of pure Americana.
