Description
Faintly Lustrous AU55 1855-C Gold Dollar
Variety 1
1855-C G$1 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. This example is consistent
with the plate in Douglas Winter's 1997 text Gold Coins of the
Charlotte Mint as it demonstrates a clashmark-free obverse. The
characteristic traits on the reverse include a clashmark between
the D in DOLLAR and the 1 in the date, and the final 5 centered
below the A in DOLLAR. At the Charlotte Mint in 1855, gold coinage
was poorly produced and according to Winter, the 1855-C is the
second rarest Charlotte Mint gold dollar in high grades. This piece
shows evidence of the poor production of the year in that it has a
weak strike that in the centers of both sides; still it is much
nicer than most examples a collector is likely to encounter. It has
no offensive marks and shows olive-green color with light tinges of
copper color at the peripheries. There is even some luster in the
protected areas. To say that a 1855-C gold dollar is a handsome
coin is unusual, but this one deserves the compliment.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C5, PCGS# 7533, GSID# 8071)
