PCGS 1855-O MS 64. The 1855-O is doubly popular because it is not only a one-year type coin, but it is also the final year of production for this denomination from the New Orleans mint.The fact that is a Type Two issue adds a certain charm as well. Circulated examples are only moderately scarce, but in mint state they quickly become quite elusive. This magnificent specimen exhibits a strong strike for the issue and original shimmering luster accented by lovely orange highlights. There is only the slightest evidence of die clashing on the reverse, as compared to the usual heavy clash marks. Rated as an mid to high R.6 in mint condition, no doubt this is one of the finest, if notthefinest, 1855-O gold dollars in existence. Population: 1 in 64, none higher.
