Following the Gold Rush, the United States Mint issued the first and only US Gold Dollars. The US Mint went through three obverse design types, with the Type II the shortest-lived design. With only 758,269 coins issued in 1855, this 1855 Liberty Gold Dollar Type II specimen is a unique collectible. Only 36 coins in this release have an MS60 designation. Now, this 1855 Liberty Gold Dollar in MS60 condition is available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1855 Liberty Gold Dollar has a Mint State 60 certification from the NGC. Typical coins in this condition showcase a few heavy marks or numerous light marks in the primary and secondary focal areas. The coins may show noticeable patches of hairlines on the surface. Liberty Gold Dollars tend to showcase weak strike characteristics that collectors seek out. These include weakness in the 8 numeral in the date mark and the LL in the word DOLLAR.
Lady Liberty is on the obverse of 1855 Liberty Dollar Coins. This portrait from James B. Longacre is a left-profile effigy with a feathered headdress on Liberty. Known as the Indian Princess, this design was only used from 1854 to 1856.
1855 Liberty Gold Dollars have a simple design element on the reverse. This design element includes a robust wreath that encircles the entirety of the central design field. Within the wreath, you’ll find the face value of the coin and the year of issue.
The Liberty Gold Dollar was available from 1849 to 1889, with Type I, Type II, and Type III obverse designs used. This Type II coin features the so-called Small Head Indian Princess, with the 13 stars from the previous Type I issues removed in favor of an engraving of the nation of issue. The reverse on this 1855 Liberty Dollar also features a Type II design, which would remain on the coins through cancellation in 1889. The Type II reverse removed the nation of issue and enlarged the wreath to occupy the majority of the design field.
