Lot Description

1855-C Gold Dollar. Type II. Fine-15 (PCGS). CAC. This is a handsome, fully original example bathed in warm honey-rose patina. Well balanced for the grade, the obverse is a bit softly struck, but the reverse is bolder with a sharp date and mintmark. The surfaces are uncommonly smooth and problem free in a well circulated survivor of this challenging issue. Alone among Charlotte Mint gold dollars of the Type II design, and produced to the extent of just 9,803 pieces, the 1855-C represents a significant find at all levels of preservation. For the grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more inviting example than that offered here. PCGS# 7533. NGC ID: 25C5. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
