Lot Description

1852 Gold Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). An incredible little jewel speckled in a blend of yellow-gold and ivory coloration. Well struck and showing impressive definition to Liberty's portrait on the obverse. The fields show a vibrant and satiny luster, imparting a nearly prooflike reflectivity. A beautiful and nearly pristine specimen. At 2,045,351 pieces, the 1852 registers the highest mintage among circulation strike gold dollars after only the 1853 and 1851 and ranks third among this trio for most readily obtainable gold dollars in today's market. However MS-65 coins are rare, and the 1852 is seldom offered any finer. The present example is surely one of the finest known survivors, with just 6 coins certified finer by PCGS. PCGS Population: 1; 6 finer. PCGS# 7517. NGC ID: 25BP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
