Product Details
This 1855-O Indian Head Gold Dollar graded PCGS AU 53 is a magnificent addition to any high-grade American gold or branch-mint collection. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this piece represents the short-lived Type 2 design created by James B. Longacre, which was issued for only three years (1854–1856). The 1855-O is a famous key issue for the type and the entire gold dollar series, boasting a modest original mintage of just 55,000 pieces—the only Type 2 gold dollar ever struck at the New Orleans Mint. Graded AU 53 by PCGS, this specimen exhibits rich honey-gold luster in protected areas, sharp detail across Liberty's feather headdress, and strong overall eye appeal for this notoriously weakly-struck branch-mint issue.
