<B>1855 G$1 Type Two MS64 NGC.</B></I> In 1854 it was decided by Mint officials that the gold dollar was too small and thick for its weight. James Longacre adapted his three dollar gold design in creating a slightly broader and thinner coin. The Type Two gold dollar features Liberty wearing a headdress rather than a coronet, as on the Type One; and Liberty is encircled by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, rather than thirteen peripheral stars. This near-Gem example is highly lustrous and features pleasing shades of peach and honey-gold. Both sides show prominent die clashing, which is not unusual, but the coin's striking details are definitely better than average for the issue, especially on DOLLAR and on the date.<BR><I>From The Freedom Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
