Lot Description

Historic First Year 1849-D Gold Dollar Rare Choice Uncirculated Preservation 1849-D Gold Dollar. MS-63 (PCGS). An impressive condition rarity to represent this historic and popular Southern gold issue. Sharply to fully struck throughout, and uncommonly so for a product of the Dahlonega Mint, this beautiful example also possesses strong luster in a satin to modestly semi-reflective finish. Bathed in vivid deep gold patina with smooth, attractive surfaces that are fully deserving of the Choice Mint State grade from PCGS. Extremely popular for mintmarked type purposes, the 1849-D is the premier gold dollar from the Dahlonega Mint. It is also the most frequently encountered in numismatic circles, its first year status undoubtedly resulting in a higher rate or survival compared to those of later date D-mint gold dollars. Even so, high quality examples such as this are rare in an absolute sense and enjoy strong demand among both mintmarked type collectors and Southern gold enthusiasts. PCGS Population: 14; 4 finer (all MS-64). PCGS# 7507. NGC ID: 25BD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
