Lot 1868
1854 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded MS-61. Struck from clashed dies as are most of this scarce issue. Apparently the mints had a hard time feeding in these tiny planchets, and most one dollar gold pieces show clash marks, sometimes multiple sets as seen here, where the dies came together without a planchet between them. Bright luster and rich gold in color, with the usual handling ticks from transport during its initial years after coining. Scarce and always in demand, the Type 2 gold piece has a low mintage and few were saved in mint state grades, keeping the pricing pressure high on this issue.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
