Description du lot

1855-O Gold Dollar. Type II. Winter Variety One, the only known dies. EF-45 (NGC). Handsome olive-khaki patina adorns lightly worn features. The detail remain suitably bold for the grade, even despite the presence of characteristic softness of strike to the central-obverse highpoint. The reverse is boldly struck throughout, and both sides are free of significant abrasions. Perhaps the most popular New Orleans Mint Gold Dollar, the 1855-O is the only delivery from this coinage facility that displays the short-lived Type II design.
