Description
1856-S Type Two Gold Dollar, MS62
FS-501, Repunched Mintmark
1856-S/S G$1 FS-501 MS62 NGC. The mintmark is widely
repunched, with the remnants of the errant S plainly visible to the
upper-right of the primary. As many as half of the surviving
examples of this issue are of this interesting variety. As a date,
however, the 1856-S gold dollar is something of a rarity in Mint
State condition. The San Francisco Mint was the only facility to
strike Type Two gold dollars in 1856, producing only 24,600 pieces.
As no Type Three dollars were coined that year in San Francisco,
this issue is mandatory for a complete date and mintmark
collection. Most examples seen are circulated, however, and Mint
State pieces are seldom seen in any grade. This example displays
bright yellow-gold luster and above-average design definition for
the issue. The usual clash marks are seen upon close examination,
but major abrasions are minimal. Census: 7 in 62, 5 finer (8/14).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25C8, Variety PCGS# 145703, Base PCGS# 7536, Greysheet# 351835)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
