My 1852 Gold Dollar. It's in an early PCGS Gen 1.2 Rattler holder. Like my 33 other Gold Dollars, it's never been sent to CAC for a sticker. But this one and many of the others I have definitely should be, I know that.
Wow, looks like you win on this post, hands down. That is an incredibly impressive coin in such a lofty state of preservation. Even though yours is a Type 2 dollar, you still win. Congrats on such a beauty!
I bought this one from a dealer who was planning on cracking it out for a re-grade back when the MS-65 Type I Gold Dollars had much higher bids. I probably over paid for it as a result. It's in an MS-64 holder. The 1853 Gold Dollar is most common date and also the most often counterfeited, or at least it was in the 1960s.
Here's a better date, an 1853-D. This one is special to me because an 1853-D was one of the first gold dollars I saw. It was the spring of 1960, and I was in the 5th grade. My mother's cleaning lady had it. I never had a chance to buy the coin. One of the men in town offered her $50 for it, which was a fair price 65 years ago. This one is graded AU-58.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

That’s exactly the kinda toning I like on my gold.
