Lot 1069
1852 Pattern Gold Dollar, Judd-138, Pollock-165, Rarity-7. Silver, plain edge. . J-138. NGC graded Proof 65. This is an extremely rare pattern issue, and although there isn't much to this coin, what is present is in gem condition. Toned with deep gray shades and free of distractions. We note that this was struck over a half dime, and you can just make out the flattened letters of UNITED STATES in the left obverse field between the date and U.S.A. The large hole at the center has been the subject of derisive comments by certain dealers, and such things just add more color to our little industry. One of the finest graded by NGC, only 4 awarded MS-65 and none graded higher, only 1 this grade seen by PCGS, also none higher from that service.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
