Frosty Gem 1855 Type Two Gold Dollar
1855 G$1 MS65 PCGS. The P-mint gold dollars of 1855 are all of the Type Two variety, by far the most elusive and in-demand in the higher Mint State grades of the three gold dollar types. The 1854 issue is seen in both Type One and Type Two designs. The 1854 and 1855 Type Two gold dollars both have virtually identical mintages, and selection of one over the other is a matter of personal preference and circumstance. Both issues, of course, like the entire subtype, are strike-challenged because the high points of each side oppose each other.This Gem Type Two 1855 dollar will go a long way towards completion of some lucky bidder's gold type set. The frosty surfaces are free of essential contact, with pretty orange-gold coloration and splendid eye appeal. The strike is much bolder than usual, with only slight softness on Liberty's hairline and the 8 in the date. Population: 38 in 65, 17 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)
