Lot 1147
1855-D $1 Gold Indian. Sharpness of EF-40 but repaired on the right side. Only 1,811 were struck for the year, and this is all too typical of the survivors. The right obverse rim AME has been repaired, as well as the opposing edge on the reverse. The coin now has a slightly wavy appearance and there are tooling scratches in the right fields on both sides. Struck from clashed dies, and while this may not win a beauty contest it is still a very rare coin that will sell for a fraction of the price of an original example. This is far and away the rarest of the Type II gold dollars.
