1855 $1 Indian Head Gold Dollar MS-66 PCGS
In 1855, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 758,269 gold dollar coins. This particular specimen represents the early era of the United States gold dollar, specifically featuring the elegant Indian Head design on the obverse. Struck with a composition of 90 percent pure gold, this tiny treasure contains 0.0484 troy ounces of precious metal. The reverse side of the coin displays the denomination of 1 DOLLAR alongside the year 1855. Because it was struck at the main Philadelphia facility, it bears no mint mark. What makes this specific survivor extraordinary is its state of preservation, having been officially graded as Mint State 66 (MS-66) and secured in a protective capsule to preserve its outstanding luster and detail for future generations to study.
