1855-O G$1 MS (PCGS#7535)

August 2011 Chicago ANA - Rarities Night

详细说明: 1855-O Gold Dollar. Type II. Winter Variety One, the only known dies. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. A very choice example of this issue, the only Type II gold dollar struck at the New Orleans Mint. Really, an exceptional example of the type that is rather well struck and very attractive. There is some of the typical weakness at the central reverse, but it is light and all date digits and other design elements are clearly defined if not fully so. Liberty's hair curls are nicely formed with softness only on the highest points. A few light surface marks are seen under magnification, but nothing stands out specifically otherwise. Vibrantly lustrous on both sides and striking in hand. It is easy to see how this piece earned the coveted green sticker from CAC. We gladly second their opinion. Just five pieces have been graded finer by PCGS, and none are more than a point higher. Further, we imagine that the 12 records at the grade of the present coin and higher likely include some resubmissions. An excellent specimen for the gold dollar or New Orleans gold specialist or a superb type coin.
