Lot 1204
1855 $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Appealing sunset gold luster near the devices while the open fields are more straight yellow in color. Note how few handling marks or hairlines can be seen, and this coin appears better than the grade assigned. The strike is a bit weak, as usual, with a lack of definition on the upper right maple leaves on reverse. On the obverse, some of the peripheral lettering is weak, especially IC of AMERICA. Struck from clashed dies, and with the familiar slanting 55 in the date. Only 204 graded as MS-63 by PCGS, with 163 graded higher.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
