Great coins but why a O mint type II gold dollar ?

Glad you asked. Great question.

They are more saucy then P mint issues. P mint type 2’s are plentiful compared to branch mints. In my opinion P mints are over priced. Figure 35K for a 65 CAC. There are about 140 PCGS 1854/ 55 type 2 P mint 65’s and higher. For the 1855- 0 there are only 27 coins graded 62-64. None higher. There are mostly stripped out examples out there. I’m really trying to spice up one of my type sets with interesting dates and mint marks

It’s the last 0 mint dollar which makes it popular with gold dollar collectors

It’s the only 0 mint type 2 dollar which makes it popular as a one year type

They are very scarce in properly graded mint state grades.

They are the best struck brand mint type 2 dollars and had the best planchets compared to its fellow southern brethren.

I was told that whenever you see a properly graded mint state 1855-o $1 you should try and buy it. They rarely come up for sell. Honest examples are rarer then hens teeth

I’ll probably never have a top ranked gold set but I’m aiming to put together three of the most interesting constructed sets. At least to me.
