Description

1854 G$1 Type Two MS61 NGC. We are pleased to be an attractive Mint State representative of the desirable Type Two Gold Dollar in this sale. The present example, a first-year representative certified by NGC, is awash in rich orange-gold color. There are only a few singularly distracting abrasions on the obverse, the most obvious being a thin scratch between Liberty's bust and the final A of AMERICA. The strike is exceptionally sharp for the issue with a full date and emerging definition on the hair curls over Liberty's brow. There are clashmarks in the fields around the central design elements--they are both as struck and common for the type.
