Description

1855 Gold Dollar. Type II. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.
This lovely representative of the challenging Type II gold dollar offers bright, satiny luster and beautiful straw-gold color. Evidence of clashed dies is seen on both sides, as made, and is most apparent on the reverse. Only a few minor abrasions are seen, and the eye appeal is well above average for the design type. About equal to the 1854 Type I gold dollar in availability, the 1855 is often selected to add a dash of spice to a gold type set. The date is moderately elusive in Choice Mint State, as here, and we predict numerous collectors will pay attention when this frosty and attractive specimen comes up for grabs.
PCGS# 7532. NGC ID: 25C4.
From the Huber Collection.
