Superb Gem 1852 Gold Dollar Just 5 Finer at PCGS 1852 Gold Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). We offer an outstanding example of the first major design type in the U.S. gold dollar series. Both sides are fully struck in all areas and exhibit softly frosted luster and medium orange-gold patina. Each strand of Liberty's hair is intricately rendered, and the surfaces easily live up to the coveted Superb Gem Mint State grade. A visually stunning example with only 5 finer at PCGS. The 1852 gold dollar was produced during the heyday of the denomination, when annual circulation strike mintages at the Philadelphia Mint were greater than 500,000 coins in all cases, and in some far in excess of one million. This period of time commenced with the initial gold dollar mintage of 1849 and continued through 1857. From 1849 through 1853, the withdrawal of silver coinage from circulation due to rising bullion prices saw the gold dollar fulfill its intended purposes as an alternative to the silver dollar. At 2,045,351 pieces, the 1852 registers the highest mintage among circulation strike gold dollars after only the 1853 and 1851 and ranks third among this trio for most readily obtainable gold dollars in today's market. It is often targeted by collectors assembling type set of classic U.S. gold coinage as it is easy to obtain in grades up to and including MS-64. However MS-65 coins are rare, and the 1852 is seldom offered any finer. The offered Condition Census coin will certainly enhance any collection it graces. PCGS Population: 3; 5 finer. PCGS# 7517.
