FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II A true borderline GEM example of this popular gold dollar pattern issue. A very interesting concept for the gold dollar. Starting in 1849 with the mass outpouring of gold from California, gold dollars were struck, but were tiny. In an effort to make the diameter larger and still maintain the legislated weight, a larger planchet was produced with a perforated hole in the center punched out. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 1852 around ornamented raised rim. Reverse: ONE DOLLAR and wreath around raised rim. A Rarity-7- (7-12 minted), struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. What fields there are reflective and show off a lovely copper-nickel sheen. Razor sharp in definition, the eye appeal is quite nice. The surfaces are free of distracting hairlines, marks, or any spots, save for one above the second L in DOLLAR which serves as a pedigree marker.
