1856-S Gold Dollar. Type II. FS-501. Repunched Mintmark. AU Details--Bent (PCGS).，Warm medium gold patina with blushes of pale rose iridescence provide uncommonly strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. As well, both sides are free of individually mentionable abrasions, evidence of the PCGS qualifier not readily apparent through the holder. With a razor sharp strike throughout - an uncommon attribute for the type - and plenty of satiny luster remaining, we encourage interested parties to enter strong bids for this remarkably appealing piece. The 1856-S is the only Type II gold dollar from the year 1856 and from the San Francisco Mint, and few survivors grade finer than EF. The prominent FS-501 Repunched Mintmark variety accounts for approximately half of the extant population, the first S punched too high and to the right of the primary mintmark.，，
