Description
1855-D Type Two Gold Dollar, AU53
One-Year Type Coin, Scarce at This Grade
1855-D G$1 AU53 PCGS. Winter 7-I. Ex: D.L. Hansen
Collection. According to Doug Winter's Gold Coins of the
Dahlonega Mint (2023), "The 1855-D is the second rarest
Dahlonega gold dollar and it remains the rarest in high grades. It
is an issue whose desirability transcends most gold dollars from
this mint...". The 1855-D is the only Type Two gold dollar struck
at the Georgia facility and it remains the rarest Dahlonega gold
dollar in high grades. Two varieties exist despite the small
1,811-piece mintage. This greenish-gold Winter 7-I example shows
the date further left in relation to the right ribbon peak. The 8
in the date is weak and the reverse is rotated about 20° clockwise
in relation to the obverse. Light die clashing is less obvious on
this coin compared to many 1855-D examples. A few light marks and
minimal circulation wear account for the assigned grade. PCGS
