|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-55.
|
|
Only smooth, even delicate wear defines the grade since no detractions exist on either side. Overall color seems a trifle pale, and there are fewer hairlines than usual for the type, suggesting a... |

|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-58.
|
|
Plentiful, consistent luster still roams across the entire surfaces, interrupted just barely by imperceptible friction on the highest relief areas. Remarkably free from individual abrasions, and... |
|
| 1038 | The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013 | $6,500.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. PCGS MS-63.
|
|
A considerably tougher coin in MS-63 than MS-62, a paucity of so-certified examples explain why these triple in value at this grade, underscoring the very short supply of type-2 examples struck during... |
|
| 1055 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $575.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-58.
|
|
Frosty with pleasing luster and excellent presence. Apparently more original than usual, either side displays a fine layer of olive-gold patina that only adds to the overall appeal. One very fine... |
|
| 1056 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $900.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. ICG MS-61.
|
|
Very popular due to the motifs, 1854 type-2 proves to be a great type representative in the series and commands a substantial premium over the more common type-1. The ICG MS-61 grade assuredly... |
|
| 1057 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $2,200.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC MS-62 (obverse rusted die).
|
|
Numerous raised pimples hide between and above the peripheral lettering of the obverse -- evidence of a rusty die. Thus, potential luster for this type-2 gold dollar may have been limited to begin... |
|
| 866 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $775.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-58.
|
|
Always popular for type representation, 1854 may represent the most common type-2 gold dollar, though the extremely limited two-year production run puts heavy collector demand on even this... |
|
| 867 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $2,300.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC MS-62.
|
|
Today's auction offers several nice type-2 gold dollar options, this being one that just avoids the big jump in value beyond MS-62. Contact-free medium-gold surfaces show only a few delicate... |
|
| 776 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $400.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. PCGS AU-50.
|
|
Minimal luster hides within protected areas of the periphery, saved from the light wear affecting both sides. Butterscotch patina looks just right atop the unmarked surfaces. |
|
| 777 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $475.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. PCGS AU-53.

Subdued satin-honey luster appears to be utterly original, and a delicate layer of greyish patina gathers gently into a few of the peripheral letters on the obverse. On the reverse, the attractive... |

|
1854 Type 2. PCGS XF-40.
|
|
Plenty more luster than expected for XF-40 emanates from the fields, perhaps encouraging upgrade speculation over the PCGS green-label holder. However, the cost of certification would scarcely be... |
|
| 768 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $425.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. AU.
|
|
Enough luster remains to warrant upper AU consideration, but a few too many micro-hairlines designate the grade in favor of AU-50. Type-2 gold dollars continue to be in strong demand, and this would... |
|
| 769 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $500.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. PCGS AU-50.
|
|
1854 is certainly the most common type-2 gold dollar and is a workhorse for type collectors who need only a single example for their collections. Housed in a PCGS rattler holder is this straw-gold... |

|
1854 Type 2. PCGS AU-53.
|
|
If tilted at about 90 degrees counterclockwise, a patch of peculiar scratches can be seen zigzagged into the obverse right field, behind Liberty's neck. It is possible that someone effaced an... |
|
| 771 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $875.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-58.
|

Surfaces offer sumptuous, sweet apricot-gold patina, invigorated by smooth, underlying cartwheel luster and only very faint wear. The strike is a little better executed than that seen on many coveted... |
|
| 772 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,750.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC MS-61.
|
|
This is a surprisingly nice type-2 gold dollar for such a basic BU grade of MS-61, as assigned by NGC. Both sides display better mint frost than usual, with definition in the hair strands that also... |
|
| 920 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $875.00 |
|
1854 Type 2 w/ die erosion doubling. AU.

A die specialist's dream, this 1854 type-2 gold dollar offers the most extreme level of die erosion ever witnessed by your fearless cataloger -- by a long shot. In fact, is it possible this was... |

|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-55.
|
|
Somewhat nicer than the typical type-2 representative, since a lot of luster continues to flow around the fields, particularly on the reverse. Definition is characteristically lacking due to strike... |
|
| 922 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $850.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. AU-58.

The included NGC tag indicates a grade of AU-58 for a type-2 gold dollar, and this olive-yellow 1854 representative offers luster and details suitable to the about-uncirculated grade level. Scant... |
|
| 923 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $1,500.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. NGC MS-60.
|
|
As the most underutilized grade in numismatics, it is always a pleasure to see MS-60 judiciously and properly applied, especially to a popular gold coin. 1854 is easily the most desirable... |
|
| 697 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $525.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. PCGS AU-53.
|
|
1854 saw the debut of the most difficult type gold dollar, the type-2 "small head", and PCGS has provided a grade of AU-53 for this olive-beige example. Surfaces are very pleasantly clean for the... |
|

|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-55.
|
|
Multiple die-clashes affect the reverse of this type-2 gold dollar, while the obverse die was apparently lapped to remove the clashing. A grey-gold coin that features minimal luster and only slight... |

|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-58.
|

Clash marks on the obverse behind Liberty's head are even more prominently etched than usual, though some clashing is always expected of a type-2 gold dollar. This 1854 example features rich... |
|
| 1055 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $450.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. AU.

Much luster remains, though an inadequate strike has provided unimpressive detail. Free of distractions, however. |
|
| 1056 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $700.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. AU.
|

| 1057 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,150.00 |
|
1854 Type 2. AU-55 PL.
|
|
Probably semi-prooflike when originally struck, though five points of wear has imparted a few hairlines and diminished reflectivity a little. Minor planchet flakes (as struck) can be seen on each... |
|

|
1854 Type 2. NGC AU-58.
