This bold repunched mintmark exhibits the secondary S wide to the northeast of the primary S. In lower grades, this variety has little premium. However, in Mint State—in which it seems to be quite rare—it does command a premium over the regular 1856-S, Type 2, coin.
Obverse Description
Indian head portrait with crown centered in the design surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery.
Reverse Description
"1 DOLLAR" is centered with date below, surrounded by a large wreath tied in a bow at the bottom. Mint mark appears at the bottom below the blow.
