Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,000.00 - with solid claims to the Choice category, boasting marvelous glowing lustre with only the most trivial hints of a light scuff in the left obverse field. 1232 1854 Type II. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,800.00 - with claims to Choice. The fields retain ample mint lustre and frost to please the eye, but there is minor softness on the uppermost devices, a normal feature of this type issue. Both dies display the usual clashmarks.

A few light hairlines are present, as is a very thin pin scratch on the face and a bit before it. 1235 1855 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $8,000.00 Well struck but for the '8' of the date which is weak, as is normal. The lustre is good and the surfaces show some die clashing as is usually seen with this date. A very attractive example that is quite rare in this lofty condition and should command fierce bidding on the auction floor. PCGS MS63. 1236 1855 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,200.00 Very faint hairlines are seen on this lustrous coin. The strike is decent, including the '8' of the date, which is stronger than most seen. A decent coin despite the hairlines and a coin that should be viewed closely. 1237 1855 CH AU $900.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A well struck coin showing much lustre which enriches a precise impression of the dies. Here is a splendid Type coin or specimen for a date collection. 1238 1855'C' AU $3,750.00 About Uncirculated with solid claims to the Choice rank. Largely lustrous, this coin shows a very bold obverse die clash that creates a halo-like effect behind Liberty's neck. One of only 9,803 struck at Charlotte and a coin that is well above average in grade and appeal, comparing favorably with the James A. Stack example.
