1855 G$1 MS67 PCGS. Superb! One of the finest known of this date and type, and a coin which is stunning in every regard. Note the blazing luster in the fields which comes alive when examined under a light. The strike too is excellent for this notoriously weak issue, with full curls on Liberty, strong peripheral lettering, and the wreath shows all the desired details. If one must find some fault, then the top of the 18 in the date is slightly weak. Both the obverse and reverse show thin die cracks through the peripheral lettering or wreath devices. Close examination induces the viewer to marvel at the Superb quality of the surfaces, were this just any gold dollar it would be spectacular, but as a Type II, this quality is legendary. There is a faint and very fine die line which is seen near the left edge of the reverse, a small leftover remnant from the preparation of the dies, and the left most corn husk has been separated from the wreath by lapping, and floats all alone in a satiny sea of luster near the wreath. The combined NGC and PCGS population reports tally seven coins graded this high, with none seen finer.

The Type II Gold dollar is the rarest type coin which is included in the majority of gold type collections. Therefore demand for this issue has always been very high, and very few Choice or Gem mint state coins have been found to satisfy collectors wants. The present coin is one of the very finest graded not only of this date, but of the entire type, and will certainly be one of the highlights of even the most advanced collection.

The decision to strike gold dollars along with silver dollars was the brainchild of government officials. In theory, the price of silver and gold would be held at a set level and both would circulate alongside each other and be interchangeable in commerce. Naturally, coinage began in 1849, just as the floodgates from the California Gold Rush opened up, sending a crushing supply of gold onto the world market. The p (PCGS# 7532)

1855 G$1 MS66 PCGS. Both the 1854 and 1855 Type Two gold dollars were minted to the extent of a tad more than three-quarters of a million pieces each, and yet both are quite elusive in the higher Mint State grades. Their scarcity is largely due to the inappropriate design placement, putting the highpoints of each side in opposition. Type Two dollars are in demand chiefly from type collectors who desire to complete a U.S. type set, or a gold type set. Statistically, from the current combined NGC/PCGS population data, the 1855 shows a few more certified survivors in MS66 and finer grades than the 1854. Those services combined have certified 25 pieces of the 1855 in MS66, with seven pieces finer, while they have graded 17 examples of the 1854 in MS66, with five coins finer (11/06).

From any technical or aesthetic point of view, this is a lovely and appealing coin, one that is instantly appealing. First Foremost, one must mention the lustrous and radiant surfaces, which are delightfully patinated in hues of orange-gold and green-gold, with glints of lilac and apricot predominating on the reverse. While the clash marks that are ubiquitous in the Type Two gold dollars are present here (and they do not affect the grade anyway), the surfaces are stunningly pristine and unencumbered by obvious signs of contact, large or small. The almost universal strike weakness of this type is here limited to trifling softness on Liberty's highpoint hair and the 8 in the date and LL in the denomination. Nonetheless a stunning and delightful example of this rare type. Population: 14 in 66, 3 finer (11/06).
From The James Paul Collection. (PCGS# 7532)

Auction 308 | Lot 8394 » Gold Dollars
1855 G$1 MS65 PCGS. Ex: Bass. Both the design and the production of the Type Two Gold Dollar suggest great haste on the part of the U.S. Mint. For the former, James Barton Longacre simply adapted the obverse of his Three Dollar gold design and mated it with a rendition of the Flying Eagle Cent reverse, also one of his recent creations. This design, coupled with a thinner, yet larger planchet, distinguishes the Type Two Gold Dollar from its Type One predecessor. Most examples of the former type are poorly produced. Clashmarks are virtually always seen, and the central highpoints are inadequately defined more often than not. This shoddy workmanship meant that the coins acquired wear at an unacceptably fast rate. Since it proved unsatisfactory for general circulation, the Type Two design yielded to Longacre's Type Three motif after only a few years.

Many catalogers overstate the rarity of the 1854 and 1855 Type Two issues in Mint State. A perusal of many of our recent Signature Sales will reveal numerous offerings of BU, Select, and Choice quality survivors. Gems are another matter entirely. This is the first MS65 PCGS 1855 Gold Dollar that we have handled in at least ten years, and it is a no-questions Gem. Lovely reddish-gold tinting drifts over pleasingly frosted features, virtually all of which are fully defined. In fact, there is not a single ill-defined device, and the already extraordinary eye appeal benefits even further from the presence of uncommonly smooth surfaces on both sides. Faint clashmarks (as struck) are evident in the reverse field, and a thin abrasion over the left wreath is noted as a pedigree marker. Bass obviously hand-picked this coin for quality and eye appeal when he purchased it as lot 1312 in Superior's August 1975 ANA Sale.
Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 10/1999), lot 91, where it realized $48,300. (PCGS# 7532)
