1854 Type 2 Gold Dollar (G$1)

The 1854 Gold Dollar is the first year of issue for the short-lived Type 2 design, which was produced from 1854 to 1856. This design, featuring a smaller diameter and a thicker planchet, addressed concerns over the coin's legibility and durability.

This coin, graded AU58 by CACG, radiates outstanding eye appeal. The surfaces show a soft, original luster, betraying only slight traces of its brief time in circulation. The details remain crisp, with minimal contact marks, ensuring this coin stands out even among high-grade examples. A superb piece.
