Lot 0030 1852 Liberty Seated $1 PCGS AU53
Only 1,100 silver dollars were produced at the Philadelphia Mint in 1852 and as with the 1851, every 1852 business strike dollar is rare! While the known population of the 1851 is mostly grouped within the AU58-MS64 grade range, the 1852 has examples evenly from XF40-MS65. As if offering a nice 1851 dollar were not enough, we now present an attractive and "original" example of another classic rarity, the 1852 silver dollar! The fields retain a modicum of semi-reflective surface around the stars and legends and are a nice shade of silver-toned color. Mint strike weakness is noted on some of the stars and head of Liberty but most of the coin is bold, especially the eagle. As on most specimens, horizontal die file marks are faintly present within the left vertical stripes of the shield.

We feel that this specimen is just shy of choicer AU55 or 58 quality. All will undoubtedly appreciate the originality and desirability of this handsome example.
