Question
I have an 1852 gold US Dollar Type 1, closed wreath, no mint mark that I can find. It is in a coin case that I have never opened and apears to be in excellant condition. Any thoughts on the range of it's value would be welcome.
Thank you.
Al,
In very lightly circulated condition, it's worth about $200.
A nice uncirculated one can be worth $650 or more.
You would need expert first-hand examination, or submission to a grading service, to determine exact grade and value.

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
