Lot 1622
1852 Pattern Gold Dollar. Copper, Plain Edge. Judd-147. Pollock-175 Low Rarity 7. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red & Brown PQ. CAC Approved. A lovely example. This is the plain edge, copper variety of the proposed Ring Dollar or "Annular" Dollar coin, a proposal to bring smaller denomination gold coins into circulation like the half dollar and one-dollar but enlarged in diameter for ease of use. Problems striking these were numerous since the equipment had to deal with the central perforation. Some first attempts had irregular openings, which would never do to a Mint establishment that prided itself on quality workmanship. A rare, high grade example that is tied for the finest at PCGS. Pop 3; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 11611) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
