1852 G$1 MS69 PCGS. When Alexander Hamilton created the original text that became the Mint Act of 1792, he recommended a bi-metallic standard including both gold and silver. The unit of this coinage system was the dollar, which he envisioned would be struck in both metals. Hamilton specifically recommended a gold piece of 10 dollars, another of one dollar, a silver piece of one dollar, a silver dime or disme, a copper cent, and a copper half cent. As we know, Congress did not actually include the gold dollar in the Mint Act of 1792, and it would be nearly 60 years before the gold dollar actually became a reality. Gold dollars and double eagles were authorized by Congress in 1849, partly to provide additional uses for all of the California gold that began to make its way to world markets.

This example is instructive for Mint workmanship. When coinage dies were made at the Mint, various combinations of individual digits or multiple digit punches were used to enter the date in the die. In the case of this particular issue, the digits 185 were clearly punched as a single unit, with the final digit added later. This can be determined by visual observation. Note that the digits 185 have less depth (in the die, raised on the coin) than the digit 2, which is clearly larger and heavier.
The gold dollar offered in the present lot is an amazing specimen. It appears to be from new dies with no evidence of lapping or other defects. In a word, this coin is Superb. Both sides have amazing definition of the design, showing every individual element exactly as it was intended by James Longacre. Frosty surfaces have rich orange-gold luster without blemishes of any kind, save for a single minute mark below the digit 5. It is this tiny blemish that prevented an MS70 grade. Without a doubt, this coin in its older green-label PCGS holder represents the ultimate quality Type One gold dollar. Population: 1 in 69, 0 finer (1/06). (PCGS# 7517)

1852 G$1 MS68 PCGS. Superb! Here is a wonder coin that must be seen to be believed, the fields are bathed in mint frost and glow with radiant orange-gold colors throughout. The surfaces are what really set this coin apart, as they display virtually unblemished fields and devices. Each of the stars are sharp to the centers, and Liberty's curls are bold. Trivial die roughness is seen near the periphery on the obverse. In particular we note a very faint scuff in the lower right obverse field, and the only mark that might serve to identify this coin is a short scratch on the reverse which is directly below the 1 in the denomination at the far right of the serif, and of course a strong glass is needed to see this infinitesimal nick. On the reverse we note a full strike with complete definition on the tiny wreath, and the lettering is sharp around the periphery, even the central lettering and date are well struck. In summary, this coin is fully struck, nudges very close to perfection, and retains booming eye appeal. The combined NGC and PCGS population reports note three coins graded this high with a single specimen seen finer of this date. An epic coin that will certainly attract considerable and well deserved attention.

1852 G$1 MS68 PCGS. In the immortal words of broadcasting legend Harry Carry "HOLY COW!." Every once in a great while a coin comes along that tends to come nice, but is so astoundingly preserved that even the occasional Gem pales in comparison. This awe inspiring 1852 Gold Dollar is such a coin. It actually needs to be inspected under light magnification to appreciate its flawless technical merits as well as the tremendous eye appeal that it possesses. The pristine and incredibly vibrant, satiny surfaces are gifted with pinpoint sharpness and are accented with splashes of orange and lilac patina. Two trivial field marks to the right of the portrait are basically the only signs of contact. An amazing Type One Gold Dollar in every respect. Population: 3 in 68, 1 finer (11/01).

1852 G$1 MS67 PCGS. This Superb Gem coin approaches perfection, both from technical and aesthetic standpoints. It is difficult to say which is superior, the surfaces or the strike. The color alternates from a predominant honey-gold on the obverse to areas of greenish-gold and copper-gold on both sides. The frosty luster is full and unbroken, even as it passes through toned areas of varying intensity. The strike on both sides is so superb that it brings out details seldom seen: not only are the star centrils all full as expected, but also each individual point atop Liberty's coronet is prominent. Each lock of hair is full and sculpted--to the point that individual hair strands are quite apparent--and shows absolutely no weakness anywhere. The small reverse wreath shows all detail that was impressed into the die. No central weakness is seen, either on the date or denomination. There are old, light signs of die clashing on the reverse, and on the obverse a small die crack runs from star 1, just above the bust truncation, to the rim nearby. A minute dark spot between star 5 and the coronet is barely noticeable, even under a high-powered loupe. This coin is nearly unimprovable, since PCGS has graded only four examples higher, with one finer at NGC (1/06). (PCGS# 7517)

1852 G$1 MS67 NGC. The 1852 boasts a sizeable original mintage of 2 million coins. Like the 1851 and 1853, the 1852 is a readily obtainable coin in most grades. Superb Gems, however, are rare, and NGC has yet to certify a single coin finer than MS67 (4/02). This is a softly frosted example with attractive cartwheel luster effects and warm orange-gold coloration. There are no areas of evident striking incompleteness over any of the devices, a fact that allows full appreciation of Longacre's original Gold Dollar design. There are also no outwardly distracting abrasions, and the reverse alone could probably support an even higher grade. We wholeheartedly recommend this coin to anyone assembling a Superb quality type set. (PCGS# 7517)

1852 G$1 MS65 PCGS. Although more than 2 million pieces of this issue were coined, most apparently entered circulation in short order, as the population data confirm: Less than 0.1% of the total mintage has been certified by PCGS, even including circulated coins. There are few Gems available to satisfy current demand. The satiny, lemon-yellow surfaces on this example are extremely lustrous and devoid of mentionable contact, save for a single pinscratch faintly visible beneath the large 1 denomination. The 2 in the date is larger and punched more deeply into the die, evidence that a three-digit date logotype was used, with the fourth digit, signifying the current year, punched in later by hand. The reverse shows some old, faint clash marks, and small die cracks rise from several of the peripheral letters to the rim. The strike is enticingly full, and the obverse shows no mentionable distractions. Population: 32 in 65, 16 finer (6/06). (PCGS# 7517)
