Interesting fact
The Pattern 1852 Gold Dollar, made of copper, is a unique and interesting coin because it was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately rejected by the U.S. Mint. Despite this, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
