1856 $1 Indian Head Gold MS-62 PCGS (Slanted 5)
In 1856, the Philadelphia Mint produced a significant run of gold dollar coins, totaling 1,762,936 pieces. These coins feature the Indian Head design, a distinct aesthetic in the history of United States gold currency. This specific issue is noted for a particular stylistic detail in the date, where the number five in 1856 is visibly slanted, creating a fascinating variety for observers to study. Struck in 0.900 fine gold with a gold content of 0.0484 troy ounces, this one dollar coin carries no mint mark, denoting its origin at the Philadelphia facility. This specimen has been certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62), with its preservation and condition verified through professional encapsulation.
