1852 Gold Dollar, MS68
Remarkably High-End Type One Coin
Not Seen in This Grade for Years

1852 G$1 MS68 PCGS. The 1852 is among the common dates in the Type One gold dollar set, popular with type collectors. However, Type One gold dollars are universally rare in Superb Gem condition, even the common dates. The 1852 is actually rarer in MS67 and higher grades than a few of the other Philadelphia dates. In MS68, though this issue's rarity expands to represent the rarity of the entire Type One series. PCGS has certified only seven Type One gold dollars in MS68, four of which are 1852 coins. Only five MS69 coins are finer across the entire Type One series (11/19). These are the finest of the fine when it comes to type coins.

This is the first Superb Gem 1852 gold dollar that we have handled since 2010, and it is the first MS68 coin that we have seen since 2005. The type coin potential is unsurpassed, but the Registry Set importance of this piece is equally spectacular. Each side displays sharp motifs and frosty, vibrant yellow-gold luster. Neither side reveals mentionable abrasions. Population: 4 in 68, 1 finer (10/19).(Registry values: N1)
