Description du lot

Warmly patinated in deep honey-gold, tinges of pale pinkish-rose and warmer olive colors are also discernible as the surfaces rotate under a light. Overall detail is uncommonly bold, both for the issue and the assigned grade, although the centers are soft, as expected. Free of sizeable marks with faint flickers of original frosty luster discernible at direct lighting angles.<p>The numismatically significant 1855-C is not only the sole Charlotte Mint gold dollar of the Type II design, but it is also a noteworthy rarity with just 9,803 pieces produced. Most examples were worn out and eventually lost in circulation, and among the survivors heavily worn and/or impaired surfaces are the norm. As a NGC-certified Choice AU the coin offered here would make a noteworthy addition to an advanced Southern gold cabinet.
