1855 G$1 Type Two Gold Dollar NGC MS63 (770218001)

1855 Type 2 Gold Dollar – NGC MS63

This 1855 Type 2 Gold Dollar has been certified and graded by NGC as MS63. The NGC encapsulation guarantees the coin’s authenticity and its Mint State 63 condition.

The gold dollar, commonly referred to as the one-dollar gold piece, was issued by the U.S. Mint from 1849 to 1889. Designed by Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the series features three distinct types over its lifespan:

• Type 1 (1849–1854): Liberty wearing a coronet

• Type 2 (1854–1856): Liberty depicted as an Indian Princess (this coin)

• Type 3 (1856–1889): Indian Princess with a larger head

The Type 2 design introduced in 1854 was short-lived, making surviving examples—especially in Mint State grades—highly desirable among collectors.
