1854 Type 2 Gold Dollar ($1)

Fresh, original color with a warm antique-gold hue and a soft satiny glow, this AU55 Type 2 shows balanced, even wear with lively traces of luster clinging to the protected areas. Light, honest friction in the fields and a few scattered ticks are all that limit the grade, while the overall surfaces are pleasingly undisturbed and uniformly patinated. The eye appeal is strong for the issue, and it resides in a PCGS gold shield holder.
