1852 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-140, Pollock-167, Low R.7 PR64 PCGS. One of the proposed solutions to the problem of the undersized and easily lost gold dollar was an annular pattern. The large center perforation (as struck) and narrow margin forces a simple design. The obverse has only USA above the hole with 1852 below, while the reverse has a series of laurel sprigs amidst heavy concentric die lines. Curiously, no denomination is stated. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. The surfaces have toned a light brown but still retain the distinctive underlying golden-tan color common to copper-nickel alloy. Original, untampered surfaces with a couple of small, dark incrustations on each side.
