Description
1855-C Gold Dollar, XF40
The Sole Charlotte Type Two Dollar
1855-C G$1 XF40 PCGS. Winter-2. In 1854, the Mint modified
the size and design of the gold dollar, with the Charlotte Mint
introducing the new Type Two design in 1855. Plagued with an
unmanageable assortment of mint-made production problems, the 1856
issue was abandoned, and the 1855-C remains the sole Charlotte
issue with this design. While strong reverse details are exhibited
on this XF40 example, the obverse shows typical mint-made flatness
and heavy clash marks. The use of inferior planchet materials has
left slight roughness around the edges on both sides. Despite these
characteristics, this highly collectible piece flashes warm
orange-gold surfaces and serves as an attractive opportunity for
gold and branch mint collectors.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C5, PCGS# 7533, Greysheet# 8071)
