- 1852-D Gold Dollar. Winter 4-F, the only known dies. MS-61 (NGC).
Noteworthy Mint State preservation for this scarce and conditionally challenged Southern gold issue. Bathed in rich honey-rose color, both sides are sharply struck with a soft satin texture overall. A mintage of 6,360 pieces for the 1852-D represents a significant reduction from the number of gold dollars struck at Dahlonega in 1850 and 1851 (to say nothing of 1849). The rigors of commercial use claimed all but 125 to 175 survivors, although surprisingly a fair number of these are in AU grades. A median high grade rarity in the D-Mint gold dollar series, as such, the 1852-D is nonetheless very rare in Mint State with fewer than a dozen coins extant at that level.
Only a single die variety is known, which is erroneously listed as 4-E in the 2013 Winter reference on Dahlonega Mint gold coinage. The author's Reverse E was previously used for some portion of the 1851-D issue, and since 5-G is the attribution for the 1853-D gold dollar, 4-F is the correct attribution for the 1852-D.
Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
PCGS# 7519. NGC ID: 25BS.
