Description

Type Two 1854 Gold Dollar, MS64
Rare, Sought-After Type Coin

1854 G$1 Type Two MS64 NGC. The year 1854 saw the introduction of the Longacre's Indian Princess design on both the gold dollar and the newly-created three dollar piece, although there were some peculiar differences. It is interesting that while the gold dollars featured a "Small Head" design, the three dollar pieces had the "Large Head" style. The Type Two gold dollars were struck for only three years until the design was altered to mirror that of the three dollar pieces.
Eye-catching satiny luster glistens beneath the reddish-gold patina. A few minuscule abrasions keep this piece from a full Gem grade. Pronounced clash marks are visible on both sides. A sharply struck and attractive representative. NGC has certified only 38 coins finer (2/10).(Registry values: N7079)
