1852 Seated Dollar, PR63
Major Series Key, Sharp Proof Restrike

1852 $1 Restrike PR63 PCGS. CAC. OC-P3, High R.5. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a. A series of die lumps in the eagle's left (facing) wing identify this coin's reverse die as the one used to strike 1859 Seated dollar proofs as well as proving this 1852 dollar is indeed a restrike proof. All 1852 Seated dollars share the same obverse die, a source of much confusion since nearly the entire 1,100-piece circulation strike mintage is largely prooflike, while two other reverse dies were employed for additional restrike proofs. The latest research confirms four reverse dies in all, only one of which was used for the circulation strikes. One or two more reverse dies may exist, but they are unconfirmed. Only two 1852 original proofs are known, one of which is housed as part of the ANS reference collection. About 40 1852 restrike proofs are known today (all varieties combined). This Select proof example displays faint silver-gray and dappled chestnut patina across its mirrored fields, with lightly frosted central devices. The strike is sharp at the obverse stars and the eagle's upper wing edges, which is not always the case for some restrike proofs. CAC endorsement confirms the bold surface quality at the PR63 level. Population: 6 in 63, 6 finer. CAC: 3 in 63, 5 finer (3/24). Ranked #98 in Garret and Guth's Fourth Edition of 100 Greatest U.S. Coins.(Registry values: N7079)
