Lot 1449
1855-C $1 Gold Indian. SEGS graded MS-60 T-2. Retooled obverse fields. Expert rim repair @ K-12. A more or less typical strike for this rarity sharp outer detail but soft centers. Somewhat lustrous with pleasing light reddish-gold color; the surfaces are as described, worked in the obverse field. The reverse shows die clash marks within the wreath that is typical on an 1855-C gold dollar.
This is the least available of the Charlotte Mint dates in higher grades. It belongs to a collection where it will be cherish for its rarity and historic angle rather than as a condition-rarity, and will undoubtedly highlight such a set (PCGS # 7533) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
