Description

1855 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS65+
Visually Finer Than Most Other Gems

1855 G$1 Type Two MS65+ NGC. The 1855 is one of the two plentiful Type Two gold dollars (the other being the 1854). More than 758,000 pieces were struck, and the date is readily available in low and middle Mint State grades. Gem examples enter into the realm of conditional scarcity, and higher-grade pieces are decidedly rare. The piece offered here is the sole MS65 coin at NGC with a Plus designation, and it is second to only a dozen finer examples at that service (7/23). Frosty prairie-gold luster rolls through well-preserved surfaces with only trivial grazes to determine the grade. Struck from the usual clashed dies, with better central sharpness than is typical of the Type Two design. Census: 32 in 65 (1 in 65+), 12 finer (7/23).(Registry values: N7079)

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