Description
1852 Ring Dollar in Gold
Judd-145 Thin, PR66+
1852 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-145 Thin, Pollock-173, Low R.6,
PR66+ PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The large hole in the center restricts
the design to the date and statutory legend on the obverse, and the
denomination is expressed as DOLLAR with a wreath on the reverse.
Struck on a thin gold planchet with a plain edge. The biggest
complaint about early gold dollars was that their small size made
them easy to lose in pockets, purses, etc. The annular design of
Judd-145, and similar gold dollar patterns of the era, was an
attempt to increase the diameter of the coin without increasing its
gold content. Unfortunately, difficulties in ejecting the coins
after striking made this ingenious innovation impractical. This is
a bright example with deeply reflective fields and a noticeable
accent of reddish patina. A superlative ring dollar.Important Selections from The Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part XI.
