Description

1855-O gold dollar XF 45, softly struck in an original, green-gold color, very scarce and the only O-mint Type Two gold dollar; and an 1856-O half eagle VF 20, formerly Lot 1925 in the 1974 GENA sale, where it was described as follows: "B-2, without recutting on 1 of date. Very Fine or better, usual flat strike, some mint lustre; lightly, extensive bagmarked. Very rare in all grades. In the same class with 1892-O, these two dates being the rarest collectible O Mint Half Eagles (with and without motto) and for all practical purposes unobtainable finer." Current price guides now favor the 1892-O, but with a mintage of only 10,000 pieces, this date should be eagerly pursued by gold specialists.
