1852-O Gold Dollar, MS65
Tied for Finest at PCGS
Ex: Duckor

1852-O G$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. Ex: Duckor-Simpson. This example shows a bold die crack from the border to the head through star 8 (1 o'clock), and the reverse displays light clash marks inside the wreath. According to Doug Winter:

"The 1852-O is the second rarest Type One New Orleans gold dollar, after the 1850-O. It is moderately scarce in the lower Uncirculated grades, scarce in MS63, rare in properly graded MS64, and exceedingly rare in Gem. I know of only two pieces: the Duckor Collection example and an MS66 NGC coin... ."

This satiny Gem, one of the two finest survivors in Doug Winter's estimation, exhibits brilliant yellow-gold luster and exceptional aesthetic appeal. Every detail on the obverse is bold, with slight softness at the date and ribbon bow on the reverse. Two thin vertical toning lines on the obverse will identify this piece. An extraordinary Type One gold dollar from the New Orleans Mint. Population: 2 in 65, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 65, 0 finer (8/20).
