Description
1852 Gold Dollar, Golden-Orange MS63 PCGS. The 1852 gold dollar mintage exceeding 2 million coins was enabled by its proximity in time (if not distance) to the California Gold Rush of 1848–49, enabling generous flows of the golden metal to arrive (eventually) in Philadelphia by steamships traveling around the tip of South America and up the East Coast. This makes this issue and the other early P-mints perfect for type sets at relatively modest prices.
