This 1854 Type One example exhibits the characteristic design features of the earliest gold dollars, which were minted from 1849 through 1854. The Type One design is distinguished by its larger diameter (13mm) compared to subsequent issues, making it particularly desirable among specialized collectors of early American gold coinage.

At this grade, the coin displays strong luster and minimal surface disturbance, representing an attractive example for the type. The NGC Certificate Number 5230941001 provides authentication and detailed grading documentation for the collector's records. The 1854 Gold Dollar Type One remains an important issue in the early gold dollar series, combining historical significance with the inherent appeal of scarce pre-Civil War coinage. This certified example would serve as a solid addition to a comprehensive gold dollar collection or early American gold holdings. Estimate: $915.
