Lot 1103 - 1854 $1 Gold Indian PCGS MS66 TYPE 2
1854 $1 Gold Indian. One of the very premium examples of this important date and three-year type, and one of the most difficult of all series to find in true gem grades. The type 2 Indian gold dollar was struck in limited numbers as the Civil War loomed on the horizon, few were saved and almost all of those found today are circulated. Examination shows superb luster and a strong strike. All design elements are sharp, and the dies do show only ghost-like clash marks. Uncommonly smooth for the issue, this frosty textured example displays warm orange-gold surface. This also happens to be one of the rarest and most sought-after Type coins, and one that has been a stellar rarity for decades as few have ever been found seen approaching this grade. If you demand an applause getter, then here it is. (#7531)
