1852-D $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A hint of light toning. Nice strtike especially in the stars, with only minor flatness on the top of the head, the hair curls in the bun, etc. In 1851 the Philadelphia Mint shipped two 1852-D reverse dies to the Dahlonega Mint, but it is believed that only one actually saw service. At the time there were still sufficient undated obverse dies on hand to take care of anticipated requirements. In due course, 6,360 pieces were struck, but what happened to them no one knows for sure. It is known, however, that today the 1852-D is significantly rarer in Mint condition than even its low mintage suggests, and is a prime key in the series. Pop 16; 8 in 62; 2 in 63. (PCGS # 7519) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,500.
