1855-D Gold Dollar, XF45
Sole Type Two Dahlonega Issue

1855-D G$1 XF45 PCGS. Variety 7-I. The 1855-D was the only Type Two gold dollar coined at the Dahlonega Mint, and it also boasts the lowest mintage of the type (1,811 pieces). Its popularity as a low-mintage, low-survival rate Dahlonega issue would in and of itself be immense, but the 1855-D has the added distinction of being the only D-mint of the Type Two design, which dramatically heightens collector demand beyond what an estimated survival of just 75 to 100 coins in all grades can satisfy. Both sides of this Choice XF example display smooth, luminous surfaces, with soft green-gold color. The high points of the devices show deeper lilac and violet toning. The design elements are boldly brought up, particularly the date numerals and wreath bowknot, and exhibit only minor wear. An exceptional example of this sought-after Southern gold dollar issue. Population: 9 in 45, 43 finer (6/18).
