1852 Pattern Gold Dollar. Copper, plain edge. Judd-147. Pollock-175. Low Rarity 7. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red & Brown. This is a rare pattern issue and one that is enormously popular. The obverse shows a large central perforation with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, date 1852 below, with a raised ring and ornaments below. Reverse has DOLLAR above, an open wreath below, and the same die was used on J-141 but this is likely a restrike. The goal of this pattern design was to create a gold dollar which would be larger than the tiny existing gold dollars, these new patterns were larger in diameter but had the necessary hole in the center bullion value counts! and were thicker than existing gold dollars. Basically a person could find these in their leather purse, but the tiny gold dollars in curculation then were often hiding in the folds or behind other coins. This one needs a new slab holder. Coin is almost perfect. Pop 5; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. PCGS # 11611 Estimated Value 7,000 - UP
