Description
Favored Gem 1854 Type Two Gold Dollar
1854 G$1 Type Two MS65 PCGS. CAC. Along with its 1855 counterpart, the 1854 is one of two obvious choices for the type collector seeking a Type Two gold dollar. As Q. David Bowers writes in his Guide Book of Gold Dollars, "Total circulation-strike mintage for the Type II design, combining all dates and mints, amounted to a paltry 1,633,426 coins. No wonder the term scarce [sic] is applicable to even the most available varieties, these being the 1854 and 1855 Philadelphia Mint coins."Certainly the 1854 Type Two is conditionally scarce in MS65, as offered here. Strong, satiny luster enlivens light yellow-gold surfaces. The strike is solid through the centers, if not full. Impressive preservation and eye appeal to match. Population: 51 in 65, 12 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N7079)
