Gold dollars were a type of U.S. coin produced from 1849 to 1889, crafted from gold and initially introduced during the California Gold Rush. The 1855 gold dollar features a design by James B. Longacre, displaying a Liberty head on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. These coins were minted in various quantities, making some years rarer and more sought after by collectors. The 1855 issue is of particular interest due to its historical context and the popularity of gold coins during the era.
