 1855'O' Brilliant Uncirculated 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 assembling a gold type set by mintmark, as it is the only issue of this short-lived type struck at this mint.
