1854 G$1 Type One

Description

1854 Type One Gold Dollar - NGC MS-65. A stunning example of the early Type One Gold Dollar from the mid-19th century, this 1854 specimen represents a pivotal moment in American numismatic history. Struck during a period of significant economic expansion and western migration, these gold dollars were critical components of circulating currency during the California Gold Rush era. Graded a gem-quality *MS-65* by NGC, this coin exhibits exceptional preservation with remarkable mint luster and sharp, well-defined details. The Certificate Number 1270167002 confirms its authenticity and high-grade status. Type One gold dollars, produced from 1849-1854, are particularly desirable for their historical significance and limited mintage, making this near-pristine example a remarkable addition to any sophisticated collection of pre-Civil War gold coinage. The obverse features the classic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre, characterized by a left-facing Liberty wearing a coronet, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original states. The reverse displays the denomination within a wreath, typical of the early gold dollar series. This piece represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors seeking a high-grade representative of this important numismatic type. Condition Census: Exceptional gem-quality preservation. Mintage Year: 1854. Metal: Gold. Denomination: One Dollar
