Superior 1855-D Gold Dollar 1855-D Gold Dollar. Type II. Winter 7-J. AU-55 (PCGS). A very well preserved, exceptionally attractive survivor of this challenging Type II gold dollar. Both sides exhibit dominant deep olive-orange color with intermingled reddish-rose highlights and some pale silvery overtones. Abundant satin to softly frosted luster remains to surfaces that reveal only a trace of rub, and no sizeable or otherwise singularly notable marks. The digit 8 is indistinct apart from its lower right curve, and the hair curls above Liberty’s brow are blunt and devoid of finer detail. Otherwise, however, we note bold to sharp detail throughout the design. The surfaces are also quite free of clash marks for the issue with just a trace of one in the obverse field at Liberty’s forehead. Undoubtedly an earlier striking from this die pairing, and preserved with a great degree of care for an issue that suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation and melting. This is a superior 1855-D in all categories that is sure to please discerning bidders. The two reverse dies used to produce this issue can be distinguished by the relative positioning of the right ribbon bow to the first digit 5 in the date. For the Winter 7-J attribution, represented here, the ribbon bow is under the left edge of that digit, as opposed to under the center of the 5 on Winter 7-I examples.
