1855 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS64+
Attractive Mint Luster

1855 G$1 Type Two MS64+ PCGS. CAC. A few lightly circulated examples of this issue were recovered from the S.S. Central America, suggesting that some seamen or miners carried examples from the East Coast to California immediately after the coins were struck, and those coins then wound up in gold shipments from San Francisco headed back east two years later. Among Type Two issues, the 1855 gold dollar is one of two most plentiful dates, along with the 1854 Type Two. This high-end Choice example is CAC endorsed, setting it apart from the majority of its peers in the MS64 grade. Frosty orange-gold luster adorns the glistening surfaces, and there is only slight strike softness evident. CAC: 41 in 64, 35 finer (12/24).(Registry values: N7079)
