<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 7544439, member: 74863&quot;]I bought this coin last month. When it arrived I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This is a 1855 $1.00 Gold coin, a Indian Princess Head, Small Head or Type 2 to be exact. Only minted for 3 years, from 1854-1856. Total mintage for this year is 758,268 so not a lot of them are available.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got this at a great price, about half of the going rate in an auction. The coin itself is very nice and I was pleased but when I looked closer and got over my initial excitement, I was in disbelief as the error was not on the holder. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a few minor signs of a clash on the obverse, from the wreath as shown in the second photo. That was enough but then I looked at the reverse. It was a good thing I was sitting down. I let out a joyful scream and had to explain it to my wife. Once she saw what I was seeing (which took a bit) she couldn’t believe it either.</p><p><br /></p><p>It shows in the third photo but in the fourth photo, which I turned upside down, it clearly shows. If you can’t see it you need to stop collecting coins with errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The clash is unbelievable. There is a complete image of the obverse. Clear as day. In the last photo I put arrows to show a few spots where the clash is more prominent. I’m still thrilled.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1301892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301896[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
