Description
1855-C Gold Dollar. Type II. Winter-2. EF-45 (NGC).
Warmly patinated in deep olive-gold, tinges of pale pinkish-rose are also discernible as the surfaces rotate under a light. Overall detail is uncommonly bold, both for the issue and the assigned grade. A couple of minor marks are noted in the left obverse field. Otherwise, free of significant blemishes with faint flickers of original luster discernible at direct lighting angles. 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 EF the coin offered here would make a significant addition to an advanced Southern gold cabinet.
PCGS# 7533. NGC ID: 25C5.
