1852-D Gold Dollar, MS62
Difficult to Locate in Mint State

1852-D G$1 MS62 PCGS. Winter 4-F. Bright frosty mint luster rolls across the greenish-gold surfaces, which display a granular texture typical of the issue. Tiny marks and light, wispy lines contribute to the assigned grade. Die clashing is shown on almost all 1852-D survivors, sometimes obliterating the bridge of the nose. However, this example is less affected than most, and also shows sharp striking on both sides. A few radial die cracks are seen -- one on the obverse, and at least three on the reverse.
With a mintage of just 6,360 pieces, the 1852-D gold dollar is rare in all grades, but is exceptionally challenging in full Mint State. Doug Winter suggests that up to 10 "true" Mint State coins exist, while the David Bowers provides a more liberal estimate of 25 to 35 Uncirculated survivors. Either way, the 1852-D ranks among the rarest Dahlonega Mint gold dollars, nearly equal to the 1850-D and 1854-D. Population: 9 in 62, 2 finer (2/26).
