Your Type 2 gold dollar is actually a Type 3 gold dollar.

Here is a $20 gold piece that was recovered from the wreck of the SS Central America. Many of these coins were 1857-S coins which were to be delivered to the east coast.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Picked this up just over melt on GC last month. 1987 was the first year $25 proofs were struck by the U.S. Mint. PCGS PR69DCAM. A tiny tick or two from a 70, I needed 7x to see any them.
I happily own this one. I also have a $10 Indian, a pair of $2.50, and a $5 piece. Should my income get back to disposable I intend to start a collection of $2.50 pieces.

Liechtenstein 25 Franken 1956 MS65 Gold 17,000 minted. Franz Josef II and Princess Gina. This coin fits the PCGS Registry Set "100 Greatest Women on Coins" based on the book written by Ron Guth. #3 set. Princess Gina.
My passion is Double Eagles, mostly Saint-Gaudens but spending more time with Liberty Head DEs of late. Picked this coin up at FUN 2020, my 1st big coin show that I attended (looking to go back for FUN 2026). It's a 1923-D....MS-66...in an OGH (Old Green Holder).
I don't have an extensive collection but I do have extensive resources in multiple formats: books, PDFs, Word docs, dated articles, etc. Should you have any questions, especially for a beginner purchase or where to start looking, I was in YOUR place only a few years ago.
Welcome to the forum! Good of you to follow your brother’s suggestion & join here. Speaking of following, there’s many gold coins posted in his thread “Dahlonega Gold Coins”. I posted the one below on there; it’s a dream come true for me after many years of wanting to own one:
Your Type 2 gold dollar is actually a Type 3 gold dollar.
Thanks, but no. The Type 2 is dated 1854 and I don't believe that there are any type 3 dollars dated 1854.
Just the counterfeit ones. My monitor and the shadows make it difficult for me to see much of anything on yours in that slot.

Next time there's a large show you're planning to attend, take a couple of cases in the exhibit area and show off these beauties. No special write up needed. Just a large bucket and mop to clean up the drool. These are amazing!!

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Latest one:
1854 was the first year for the original SF Mint. In addition to being fairly graded, this piece was not a “shipwreck” coin.

Acknowledging a loss:
The coin below was in the SB auction yesterday. Although I thought I made a strong bid, it was only 3rd best.
It’s the Closed Wreath variety even though the ID# indicates Open Wreath. The latter was the only number used during that grading period.
