1852-O Gold Dollar. Winter-1, the only known dies. MS-63 (PCGS). Smartly impressed with razor sharp striking detail, both sides also sport a warm blend of softly frosted luster and deep honey-rose patina. Trailing only the 1850-O, and surpassing even the more highly regarded 1855-O Type II, the 1852-O is the second rarest New Orleans Mint gold dollar. This is a conditionally rare Mint State survivor from a mintage of just 140,000 pieces that is sure to catch the eye of advanced collectors. From the Collection of Steve Studer.
