Select 1854 Gold Dollar
Favored Type Two Type Coin

1854 G$1 Type Two MS63 PCGS. CAC. The Type Two gold dollar is the scarcest design type of the denomination, because of the short, three-year life of the design. The 1854 and 1855 Philadelphia emissions are the only Type Two issues produced in large quantities, with the 1854 having a slightly larger mintage of 783,943 pieces. These circumstances have made the 1854 Type Two gold dollar the definitive type coin for the design. Of course, the date enjoys great popularity with gold specialists, as well.
The present coin is an attractive Select example, with lightly abraded, lustrous surfaces. The striking details are sharper than average, with a strong date, and only slight softness on the central obverse. Overall eye appeal is outstanding, as confirmed by the CAC sticker.(Registry values: N4719)
