Gem Type Two 1855 Gold Dollar

1855 G$1 MS65 NGC. Type Two gold dollars were only struck for two years, in 1855 and part of 1854, aside from a small production coined in 1856 at San Francisco because of the delay in shipping dies from Philadelphia. The Type Two design is the scarcest gold type of its era, and high grade examples are especially in demand. The present Gem has smooth green-gold surfaces that display prominent clash marks characteristic of the type. The strike is precise save for the 8 in the date and the LL in DOLLAR, which are opposite the high point of Liberty's portrait. Census: 31 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C4, PCGS# 7532, Greysheet# 8016)

Weight: 1.67 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
