Description
The 1852 (C) Liberty Gold Dollar is a Gold Dollar produced at the Charlotte Mint as part of the Liberty Head Gold Dollars 1849-1854 series. With a mintage of 9,434, this is a scarce issue — ranked 2nd of 4 mint variants by mintage, with less than 1% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, encircled by a wreath and the reverse displays a wreath enclosing the denomination 1 DOLLAR and the date. Strong production across multiple mints driven by California Gold Rush bullion. Struck at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina, which struck gold coins from 1838 until the Civil War closed it in 1861 — all Charlotte mint coins are scarce. Estimated market value ranges from $2.4K to $13K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 1.7 grams, 12.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7518.
