1855-C G$1 AU58 NGC
<B>1855-C G$1 AU58 NGC.</B></I> Variety 9-K, the only variety that Winter records. We have notes on two minutely different reverse dies among 1855-C gold dollars that we have handled over the years. They vary slightly in date position. The first variety has the upper left corner of the final 5 below the center of A, and the second variety (that offered here) has the upper left corner of the final 5 below the left base of the A. The second variety usually also has the digit 8 weakly defined.<BR> Just a bit weak at the centers but a superb example of this popular one-year type with virtually perfect surfaces below rich natural orange-gold color. As nearly every known 1855-C gold dollar has been cleaned or dipped at one time, the collector who appreciates originality should pay careful attention to this coin. <BR><I>Ex: North Georgia Collection (Heritage, 1/1999), lot 7731.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
