1852 Seated Dollar, Toned PR63
Restrike, Estimated Mintage of 65 Pieces

1852 $1 Restrike PR63 PCGS. CAC. OC-P3, High R.5. Die lumps within the plumage of the eagle's left (facing) wing confirm the variety. Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing believe just five Original proof 1852 Seated dollars were struck, plus about 65 Restrikes (estimates range from 40 to 100 pieces). About 40 such proofs are believed to survive, including this Select example from the OC-P3 die pair. Seateddollarvarieties.com explains:

"We believe that they were minted in late 1859 or early 1860. We identified the timeframe for their striking by noting that Reverse 1859 PA wasn't carried over to strike 1860 proofs, so we assume that it was retired soon after its use in 1859, and would only have been available for a short period."

This is the most plentiful proof variant for the year with an estimated 37 proofs known. The present coin offers magnificent golden-orange patina that appears broadly around the borders. It fades to shades of lemon-yellow, sea-green, and ice-blue toward the centers. A touch of strike softness occurs over Liberty's knee and the olive leaves, but the impression is otherwise strong, as expected. Small contact marks on each side determine the grade. Population: 6 in 63, 6 finer. CAC: 3 in 63, 5 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N7079)
