Radiant Gem 1855 Gold Dollar

1855 G$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Unlike in 1854, the Type Two gold dollar was struck at multiple sites in 1855, yet the Southern and Western facilities' outputs combined are a small minority compared to the mintage at Philadelphia. Little wonder, then, that the 1855 gold dollar should be a popular type issue for the short-lived design. This is a bright yellow-gold example struck from clashed dies. Slight central softness is most in evidence at the hair below the headdress, though other features, such as the knot in the wreath, appear sharp. Population: 36 in 65, 16 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N7079)
