1854 G$1 Type 2 MS65 认证号10001952, PCGS号7531

1854 Gold $1 Type Two MS65 Ex: Madison Collection { PCGS-3 } (Jan'2008) Exceptional first year issue Type 2 gold dollar with brilliant apricot-gold toning and mint-green. This gem bears a superior strike for the issue and type that has been traditionally plagued with weak central definition. The Indian's bonnet displays excellent detail, as do all the letters in DOLLAR and digits in the date, and all elements of the wreath, with just a bit of softness in the hair by the temple. The patina is simply outstanding, with vibrant luster adorning both sides. Unusual for this series, is this gem's surfaces unblemished by the typical die-clashes, indicative of a very early strike.

It is interesting to note that the auction survey indicates that the 1854 Type II and 1855 are virtually of identical rarity, both from the standpoint of number of appearances (222 and 223 respectively) as well as from the standpoint of average grade. The data also indicates that the 1854 Type II is the third most common of all gold dollars, and so the relatively high price it brings is due solely to its being a definite type coin. High grade examples, that is AU or Unc. pieces, are readily available, and even gem specimens are encountered with regularity. Many specimens show numerous clash marks on both obverse and reverse as well as a weakness in the LL of DOLLAR and the 85 of the date. Full date specimens, however, are definitely more common than they are for 1855.
