	1855	MS62	PCGS 37649798	Choice	HOLD $1950	Type 2 Indian Princess, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey Green-Gold Coloration, Heavy Die Clashing. GFRC Price Reduction - 1855 saw the Type 2 Indian Princess hub design employed for a full year prior to the conversion to the final Type 3 design in 1856.

This accurately graded MS62 example offers brilliant frosted luster under a bright light along with honey green-gold coloration. Both sides are heavily clashed from well worn and cracked dies. The obverse has die cracks at the tops of ST(ATES) while the reverse has haloed devices and a bold die crack from left to the rim. One well hidden obverse contact mark is consistent with the certified grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Consignor Price Reduction - 1851 New Orleans struck $2.5 gold will occasionaly be located with bold repunching below the final 1 digit. However, a careful inspection of this VP-001, from the the Oregon Beaver Colleftion, revealed all four digits being repunched lower and to the left. Interestingly, PCGS has yet to recognize what is an obvious double date occurence while NGC does. This example is accurately graded with a full obverse strike while the reverse has typical center weakness. Coloration is a pleasing honey green-gold with some orange at the right viewing angle. Surfaces are nicely preserved with only a few scattered marks in the lower right obverse field requiring mention. Housed in new large font NGC holder with VP-001 variety attribution on the label.

Strike softness on Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's left leg is typical of the issue. A fresh release from the Oregon Beaver Collection that is worth of consideration.
