Description
1854 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS65
A Splendid, Sharply Struck Example
1854 G$1 Type Two MS65 NGC. The strike on 1854 and 1855 Type
Two gold dollars is particularly problematic, due to the design by
James B. Longacre that puts the high points of each side in direct
opposition. Many Type Two gold dollars show both weak strikes and
die clashing, although the occasional sharply struck high-grade
example can be found. The weakly struck examples usually show soft
details on the letters of LIBERTY and the headdress feathers and
the high-point hair underneath them. And nearly all examples show
weakness on the date and/or the central letters of DOLLAR, just
above. This example is almost fully struck on each side and the
surfaces are bright yellow-gold. Both obverse and reverse show
pronounced die clashing, a common trait on Type Two gold
dollars.From The Henry Miller Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
