Lot 3467
1855 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded Type 2. MS-66. This one has just a touch of haze over the brilliant luster, which is the only signs of age. Pristine fields and surfaces that show only the faintest signs of handling. Sharply struck throughout, with no signs of weakness even on the highest devices on the curls, or wreath. Lightly clashed dies, with Liberty's head outlined on the reverse, the only weakness this caused was at the top of the 8 in the date. NGC has graded only 3 this high, with 3 graded higher, all MS-67 above, similar at PCGS where they have graded 10 as MS-66, and a scant 3 graded higher, also all MS-67. It is reasonable that this is one of the very finest graded by either major service, and long known as one of the most difficult type coins to locate in gem grades. For the investor or type collector who must have a high end gem, then place a strong bid on this coin as they are seldom found or offered this nice.
Estimated Value $40,000-UP.
