- 1856-S/S Gold Dollar. Type II. FS-501. Repunched Mintmark. AU-53 (PCGS). Pale honey-rose in hue with overall smooth surfaces. A dramatically repunched mintmark and an arcing die crack from Liberty's neck will add considerable appeal for specialists, although the FS-501 attribution is not noted on the PCGS insert. The 1856-S is the final issue in the brief Type II gold dollar series, the only one coined at the San Francisco Mint, and the only one dated 1856. The Philadelphia and Dahlonega gold dollars of 1856 both employed the new Type III design. Far scarcer in all grades than the 1855-O, the 1856-S has a mintage of 24,600 pieces as opposed to 55,000 coins for its New Orleans Mint predecessor. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from Paramount's New Orleans ANA Auction, August 1972, lot 2504. Collector tag with provenance notation included. PCGS# 7536. NGC ID: 25C8.
