Description
1855-C Gold Dollar, AU55
Lightly Circulated Example
1855-C G$1 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2. The date shows the
last 5 right under the A of DOLLAR, the more available of the two
reverses known for the year (Variety 1 shows the 5 centered under
the last A). The date is sharper here (due to both the dies and
little wear) than on Variety 1, although there is slight softness
at the top of the 8. This issue is softly struck as a rule, and
this Choice AU coin shows considerably more strike softness on the
obverse. The peripheral lettering, the forward neck of Liberty, and
the LIBERTY on the coronet are all weak. On the other hand, this
piece is high-end in terms of overall appearance, showing, as
mentioned, only light wear and a near-absence of post-Mint contact.
Clash marks appear behind Liberty's head. The surface color is an
appealing reddish-orange. The 1855-C is popular as the only
Charlotte Type Two gold dollar issue. Population: 11 in 55, 9 finer
(10/13).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C5, PCGS# 7533, Greysheet# 8071)
