 1855 MS-62 (PCGS). Frosty honey gold with olive highlights. Nicely struck at most design points, though the peripheral obverse legend is a little weak. Struck from a lightly clashed state of the dies. An altogether pleasing example from the popular and short-lived (1854-1856) design type. Moderately scarcer than its 1854-dated counterpart, though more pressure is placed on the 1854 due to its first-year-of-issue status. A grand selection for a gold type collection, a coin that will bring great satisfaction without ruining a numismatic budget.
