Description
1855-O Gold Dollar, AU Details
Double Struck, Second Strike Off Center
1855-O G$1 Gold Dollar -- Double Struck, Second Strike Off
Center -- Damaged -- NGC Details. AU. Winter-2. This is a
rather spectacular piece, not simply because it is an off-center
double strike error, but because it is the rare occurrence of that
error type on a gold coin. Moreover, it occurs on a New Orleans
gold dollar of the Type Two design, rendering it all the more
interesting and unique. The first strike was normal, while the
second strike was 95% off center toward 7 o'clock relative to the
obverse. Only a portion of the dentils and rims of the second
strike are evident. NGC notes Damaged due to the small dig at
Liberty's eye; otherwise, the coin is satiny, lustrous, and has
attractive orange-gold color. Relatively few off-center double
strikes are known on any U.S. gold piece due to the rarity of gold
error coins as a whole. It has been published elsewhere that the
current coin is the only double struck gold coin with the second
strike off center that has currently come to light, and we have no
evidence to suggest that assertion is not still current for this
piece.
