Elusive Choice AU 1856-S Gold Dollar
Interesting Type Two S-Mint Issue

1856-S G$1 Type Two AU55 PCGS. San Francisco skipped gold dollar production in its second year of operation, 1855, then resumed the denomination with the sole Type Two issue dated 1856, the 1856-S. This golden-orange piece shows much of the luster intact under light field chatter, but there are few singular marks. The dies appear close to failure, with a bold crack running from behind Liberty's head to the E in AMERICA and the rim. Rare so finer. Population: 26 in 55, 58 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N1793)
