Appealing 1855 Gold Dollar, Remarkable MS 65 Preservation

1855 G$1 MS 65 PCGS. The desirability of this issue stems not from its absolute rarity, but from its status as one of only two gold dollars of the Type Two design that can be used for type purposes. The opportunity to offer a Gem quality 1854 Type Two or 1855 gold dollar is always a source of pride for us, and an occasion for serious consideration among our bidders. This coin presents an atypical "look" for the issue. The obverse is remarkably sharp in terms of striking quality, and neither side displays any distracting clashmarks. There is some bluntness of detail over the central reverse, but the wreath is sharp in all areas. Frosty and distraction-free, this coin's orange-gold color leaves little doubt as to its originality.
