<B>1855 G$1 MS64 NGC.</B></I> The Philadelphia issues of the short-lived Type Two gold dollar have been prized for over a century for their status as type coins. In all grades, demand seems to outpace supply, and in the upper circulated and Mint State grades, the effect is even stronger. In particular, demand from well-heeled numismatists for Select and better examples has elevated those coins to five-figure status.<BR> This fantastic Choice example, predominantly yellow-gold with elements of orange at the margins, shows soft, pleasing luster and excellent definition save for a touch of softness at the L's of DOLLAR and the 8 in the date. Both sides show extensive clashing, typical for the Type Two series, but this has little impact on the coin's visual appeal. In sum, an attractive representative.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
