Gem 1854 Type Two Gold Dollar NGC MS65

Sirhc

The 1854 Type Two gold dollar is one of the two most plentiful issues of the Small Head design. The design change in 1854 accompanied a reduction in planchet thickness that allowed the Mint to make this small coin 2 mm larger in diameter. However, the thinner planchet also caused strike problems, and the Type Two design was quickly replaced in 1856 with a lower relief Liberty portrait.

Type Two gold dollars in Gem condition are scarce and highly sought-after.

The NGC population is 23 with 14 graded higher.

Listed at $20,700 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1876-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Tough One (Twenty, Actually)

The 1876-CC Liberty double eagle claims the largest mintage of the series, at 138,441 pieces. Surprisingly, it’s not the most available CC-mint twenty in today’s market, and the issue was virtually unobtainable in high grade before a hoard of several dozen examples surfaced in the mid-1990s. Like most Type Two double eagles, the 1876-CC is seen much more often in circulated grades than Mint State, but a number of Mint State examples exist, and they are quite popular with branch mint type collectors.

1854 Gold Dollar PCGS MS65

Sirhc

Gem Type II

Gold dollar type collectors will find the short-lived Type Two design to be the most difficult to acquire. Of the six issues struck with the Small Head, Indian Princess dies, only the 1854 and 1855 are viable options for most type purposes and neither is particularly plentiful in high grade. Both the 1854 and 1855 issues are prone to strike weakness as a result of the high-relief design, frequently accompanied by the clash marks that are prevalent on representatives of the type.

1886 T-2 Indian Cent NGC MS66RD

Sirhc

The Sole Highest Graded at NGC

The 1886 Indian cent varieties, Type One and Type Two, were actually caused by a subtle but complete redesign of the entire obverse hub by Charles Barber, making the Type Two coins not only pointing their lowest feather between CA rather than IC but showing shallower relief. Only about 20% of the 1886 cents are of the Type Two 1886 cents show the lowest feather tip pointing between CA rather than IC. Today, full Red examples are scarce, and are rarely seen in Gem or better condition. In hand, this coin is considerably lighter, brighter and flashier than seen in our images.
