1856-S G$1 AU50 认证号21734899, PCGS号7536

Normal S variety. CAC sticker. Purchased from Dalton Gold & Silver Exchange, Inc. at the 2022 Coin X show. Previously from Heritage Auctions Summer FUN July 7,2011 sale lot 4532. Later from Scotsman Coin July 22,2022 sale lot 305 where it was partially described as " A marvelously original example, the surface glints with carrot-gold and mustard-orange nuances. Smoothly worn and still showing dashes of frosty texture, the visual appeal couldn't be much better at the basal AU grade. " A very nice Type Two $1 Gold.

As one would suspect from the mintage, this date is much more scarce than the 1855-O in all grades. Strictly uncirculated specimens are very rare, although I have seen at least three specimens that I would call gem quality (MS-65 or better). The 1856-S has one interesting variety that is worth mentioning. It is the so-called "Double S" variety with the first S punched high and to the right, and then only partially affaced. Although this variety has been enthusiastically acclaimed to be a "great rarity" by several prominent dealers, in my experience it is really no more rare than the Normal S variety, and I have seen as many specimens with the Double S as without it. (In fact, two of the aforementioned gem specimens of this date were the Double S variety.)
