Lot Description

1849-O Gold Dollar. Winter-3. MS-62 (PCGS). Warmly patinated in honey-gold, this handsome piece also displays sharp striking detail where allowed by the variety and die state. Winter-3 is characterized by severe lapping of the reverse die, which explains the weakness to many design elements. The present example is also a late obverse die state, the periphery on that side shattered with numerous cracks. A perennially popular issue, the 1849-O is the first gold dollar from the New Orleans Mint. Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. PCGS# 7508. NGC ID: 25BE.
