1855-C Gold Dollar, MS62+
The Sole Finest Example Certified

1855-C G$1 MS62+ NGC. Variety 2. The seldom seen early die state before the reverse is lapped. The date is further right on this variety than on Variety 1. The 1855-C is the only Charlotte issue in the Type Two gold dollar series, making it one of the most sought-after dates in the entire Charlotte coinage of this denomination. Examples are rare in Mint State, and none are finer than MS61 at PCGS. NGC lists five coins in MS62, and the present example is the only one of those with a Plus designation, making it the sole finest certified 1855-C gold dollar. Lustrous orange-gold surfaces reveal few discernible abrasions, and localized areas of strike softness on the portrait and wreath bowknot are not bothersome. As usual for the issue, heavy clash marks are seen on each side. Census: 5 in 62 (1 in 62+), 0 finer (11/20).(Registry values: N7079)
