Introduction of Coins
Jeff Garrett:The 1855-D issue ranks as one of the most popular gold dollars. It is very rare, with probably fewer than a hundred coins surviving. Although the average coin is struck fairly well for a branch-mint issue, nearly every example is weak in the central portions of the reverse. The authors have seen coins with the date nearly obscured. Very few coins are found with a full date; these are very rare. Die clashing is evident on nearly every coin found. A few also exist that have been used for jewelry in the past. The 1855-D gold dollar must be considered one of the classic rarities of the series and is very desirable in any grade. One of these coins sold at the August 2011 ANA sale for $143,750.Read More
