Description

1855 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS62
Bright Yellow-Gold Mint Luster

1855 G$1 MS62 PCGS. Unlike 1854, in which Type Two gold dollars were produced at Philadelphia only, 1855 saw production at the three Southern Mints (Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans) as well. In practice, this did little to boost the total gold dollar mintage for the year; Philadelphia's output matched that of the branch mints and then exceeded it ten times over, making the 1855 an obvious candidate for the type collector. This is a bright yellow-gold example that shows a considerably stronger strike in the centers than usually seen. The fields are die clashed, as usual, and there are just a few small abrasions scattered about to limit the grade of this highly lustrous piece.(Registry values: N4719)
