Mint State 1852-D Gold Dollar

1852-D G$1 MS62 NGC. Winter 4-F. Like the other Mint State example in the present sale, this lovely dollar has heavy obverse clash marks, giving the appearance of surface roughness. Just 6,360 examples were coined in Dahlonega during the course of the year, all from a single pair of dies, according to Walter Breen. Few examples from the modest mintage survive today, with Mint State coins being important rarities. Just because we have two such coins in the present sale, don't assume that these are easy to find; rather, consider this a great opportunity to acquire one of these for your collection. Probably not more than 15 or 20 true Mint State examples of this issue survive. This example is fully struck (or very nearly so) with excellent orange-gold coloration and satiny luster. The reverse fields are reflective, and this is especially noticed near the devices. This is a splendid example that will certainly be a nice addition to the advanced cabinet. Population: 8 in 62, 2 finer (4/05).(#7519) (Registry values: N7079)
