1852 $1.00 Gold 1852 (Type 1) AU50

1852 $1.00 Gold 1852 (Type 1) AU AU50 Collectors assembling a complete run of Type 1 gold dollars will find this 1852 $1.00 Gold 1852 (Type 1) AU AU50 a natural fit for the date set. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the coin carries the classic Liberty obverse and reverse wreath design that defined the denomination’s first decade. Its 90 % gold composition and 0.0484 troy-ounce weight place it squarely in the small-size gold series that collectors prize for both type-set and date-set projects.

The AU50 grade preserves the original detail on Liberty’s curls and the wreath’s leaves, giving the piece the eye appeal many builders seek without stepping into higher-grade premiums. Type-set demand, key-date pressure, and straight bullion interest all converge on this issue, so the coin serves equally well as a single acquisition or as the cornerstone of a larger nineteenth-century gold dollar collection.
