Lot Description

Warm honey-apricot surfaces with lively retained luster and subtle olive undertones. Struck from a heavily clashed obverse die and with some natural planchet granularity, no doubt as struck, affecting the letters CA in AMERICA - many Charlotte Mint issues in the denomination are affected by poor planchet quality. From the second of three years of the design type, its mintage of 9,803 pieces represents the second smallest gold dollar output within the Type II series from any mint, 1854 to 1856. A neat opportunity to add something other than a common date Type II gold dollar to your growing U.S. gold type set or, of course, a find for the advanced Southern gold enthusiast.
