Description

1855-O Gold Dollar, MS61
Sole Type Two New Orleans Issue

1855-O G$1 MS61 NGC. Variety 2. The usual, lapped die state. The 8 in the date is weak, as are the LL in DOLLAR. This is the only New Orleans issue of the Type Two design. 55,000 pieces were struck, but Mint State survivors are scarce. Above-average sharpness characterizes the wreath details on this piece, although Liberty's portrait shows the usual minor softness on the highest hair curls. Pleasing straw-gold coloration on each side complements a lack of bothersome abrasions. Census: 27 in 61 (2 in 61+), 35 finer (11/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C7, PCGS# 7535, Greysheet# 8073)
