1852-D Gold Dollar. Winter 4-E, the only known dies. MS-62 (PCGS).

An exciting offering for the advanced Southern gold collector, this is the first Mint State 1852-D gold dollar that we have brought to auction in more than a decade. Lovely deep honey-rose color blankets surfaces that also reveal subtle lilac-blue undertones as the coin dips into a light. Direct viewing angles also call forth semi-reflective tendencies from the fields - very attractive. Sharply to fully struck throughout with superior quality and eye appeal for this conditionally challenged issue. A median rarity in the D-Mint gold dollar series, the 1852-D is more challenging to collect than the 1849-D, 1851-D and 1853-D. Survivors from a mintage of 6,360 pieces are thought to number only 125 to 175 coins (per Doug Winter, 2013). In Mint State the extant population dwindles to just seven to 10 coins, and in PCGS MS-62 the offered example is solidly in the Condition Census. Sure to realize a strong price after spirited bidding.

PCGS# 7519. NGC ID: 25BS.

PCGS Population: 7; 2 finer (both MS-63).
