1855 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$2,200.00 |
- nearly Choice. A very nice looking coin, with rich yellow gold color and surfaces that look almost frosty. Both sides were fairly well struck and the tops of the date numerals on the back are sharp and fully legible. The clash marks on the reverse are typical on Type II Gold Dollars. |

$450.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated. A decent strike with a fair amount of lustre lends desirability to this scarce Type II design. A few light marks are noted but none are that serious. PCGS AU53. |

1855'C'
|
AU |
$17,000.00 |
About Uncirculated. Fascinating narrow bands of mint lustre halo both sides of a date Akers had never seen in Mint State and called ''very scarce'' in this coin's high grade. One of only 9,803 struck, of which a mere handful survive in collectible grade. The Dannreuther-Garrett auction reference notes a single Uncirculated example appearing at auction in a 10 year-period, the present... more |

1855'D'
|
CH EF |
$18,000.00 |
Choice Extremely Fine. An exceptionally full strike is seen in the date, where the '8' is clear and delightfully sharp, as is the crisply defined 'D' mintmark. Die clash adds fascination to the fields on this solidly pleasing example of a mintage of only 1,811 pieces. Here is a Branch Mint date that is elusive in any grade, represented here by a wholly satisfying example. |
|
2858 |
1855'O' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$5,500.00 |
- with claims to a Choice distinction. The strike is unusually sharp for a coin of this type, there being excellent central definition in the obverse hair strands and headdress. Delicately toned yellow-golden fields and design features are bathed in rich mint frost. This New Orleans Mint issue is not only quite rare in this condition. It is also of great importance to those collectors... more |

1855'O'
|
CH AU |
$2,000.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated. This largely lustrous example of the last New Orleans Gold Dollar shows minor rub on the high points with exceptionally sharp date and 'O' mintmark. Here is a generally satisfying example of the only New Orleans issue from the short-lived ''Indian Princess'' type. PCGS AU55. |

1855'O'
|
AU |
$3,500.00 |
About Uncirculated and Choice in terms of the coin's pleasing originality. Though it saw minimal and problem-free circulation, the detail remains unusually bold thanks to the initial sharpness of the strike. This is the only Type II date for the New Orleans Mint and it has long been in intense demand. Hints of delicate red-gold and traces of original lustre add to this coin's attractions. |
