- 1855-C Gold Dollar. Type II. AU-50 (NGC). This is an uncommonly well produced 1855-C gold dollar insofar as the reverse is sharply defined throughout to include a full date and mintmark. The obverse is typically softer for the issue, that side of the coin also revealing clashmarks and a few minor planchet flaws, none of which features are uncommon for the 1855-C. Pleasing honey-gold patina throughout with uncommonly strong eye appeal in a survivor of this extremely challenging issue. 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 certified AU the coin offered here would make a significant addition to an advanced Southern gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio. PCGS# 7533. NGC ID: 25C5.
