Super Hoard of scarce Pre-Civil War 1856 Upright 5 Gold Dollars

Description

Deadwood-Hoard of 165 165-Year Old Pre-Civil War Gold Dollars
This unprecedented hoard of 150 165-year-old 1856 Upright 5 Gold Dollars features two rare PCGS MS-65 specimens and 7 MS-64 specimens, 4 graded by PCGS and 3 by NGC. 37 pieces are CAC stickered. This hoard is estimated to represent approximately 50% of the surviving population of this original Red Book variety and the first year of the Type 3 gold dollar.
The reason this variety is so scarce is due to the fact that it was only minted during Q-4 of 1856 as this variety represents the US Mint's standardization of date logotype on the reverse of the U.S.  gold dollar. In 1857, all date logotypes for all denominations of US coinage went upright in non-italic format.
According to JP Martin, the surviving 1856 Upright 5 Gold Dollars are likely 10-15 times scarcer than the Slanted 5 variety.
Walter Breen and David Akers both assigned a mintage figure of 33,660 in “United States Gold Coins."
The Upright 5 1856 gold dollar seems to be unappreciated in circulated grades (PCGS currently tabulates the same values for Upright 5 versus Slanted 5 for grades from VF-30 through AU-55), but the value of the Upright 5 starts differentiating from the Slanted 5 for Mint State specimens—until it is more than double for MS-65
