1852 GOLD $1 J-145 THIN PCGS PR66+ CAC

A Gem Proof 1852 Gold $1 J-145 Thin, certified PCGS PR66+, this piece shows active luster. As a pattern issue, it records the Mint’s active experimentation with design, denomination, composition, and national iconography. Attribution specialists will note J-145, Rarity-6. The population data and survival commentary both matter: just a single coin has been graded higher by PCGS. The proof manufacture gives the design a different visual presence than regular coinage, making surface originality especially important. Within its collecting specialty, the piece offers the balance of quality and significance that experienced buyers study closely.
