Lot 1310
1855-C. NGC AU Details, improperly cleaned. Well struck from clashed dies and untoned. Popular as the only "C" mint type 2 gold dollar. Only 9,803 struck. The 1855-C is a poorly produced Charlotte issue from a small mintage that year. Survivors tend to be circulated, and are often riddled with problems. The present example, while typically deficient in strike through the centers and portions of the obverse border, has a pleasing enough appearance to overcome its limitations. Evidence of die clashing is detected over both sides, being more noticeable on the reverse. An important offering for the serious collector of Southern gold.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500.
