Lot 1448
1855 $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Nice golden toning on this popular type 2 gold dollar. Here and there some marginal uneveness in the strike (primarily at centers). A wreath of corn, cotton, maple, and tobacco that designer James B. Longacre would in due course immortalize on the Flying Eagle cent also made the move from the three dollar gold piece to the new Type 2 gold dollar. Once the Treasury Department agreed to the new design, coinage began on August 19, 1854. The design would last only into 1856 (PCGS # 7532) .
Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000.
