Lot Title:
|
1855-O NGC AU-55.
|
|
Description:
|
This is the only Type II Gold Dollar design that was issued by the New Orleans Branch Mint, having a low mintage of only 55,000. Possibly a late state of the reverse die, as there appears to be faint traces of clash marks. Its delicate, yellow-green surfaces still show evidence of luster. The few stray ticks and hairlines are consistent for this grade, and there is one slightly toned streak observed to the left of Liberty's profile. The detailing is prominent.

1855-O NGC AU-58.
|
|
Though a trifle pale and rather extensively abraded, substantial luster remains present across each side of this difficult type-2 gold dollar. "8" in the date is diagnostically weak. |

1855-O gold dollar, net EF-40
|

Any of the mint marked "Type 2" gold dollars is scarcer than the common Philadelphia coins of 1854 and 1855, but the 1855-O is the most obtainable between the Charlotte, Dahlonega, San Francisco and... |

1855-O NGC AU-55.
|
|
Consistent tan-gold color rests atop average struck detail. A ding in the upper right reverse field has slightly distorted the planchet, and was probably the singular grade determining factor. |
