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.
Answer 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.
