1849-O G$1 MS (PCGS#7508)

The Regency Auction 34

Lot Description: Among the top dozen examples graded by PCGS, this is is a gorgeous example of this first year of gold dollars struck at the New Orleans mint. A sharply struck jewel has thickly frosted devices that stand out against the lustrous, brilliant surfaces. Every detail is fully delineated and this beauty would qualify for a GEM grade were it not for a tiny break in the frost. The eye appeal is exceptional and remarkably high end. PCGS 25, NGC 29, CAC 11. PCGS has graded 2 in MS64+, the other one sold in the 2014 ANA auction for $7,520. VERY RARE any finer, there are 7 in MS65 and 2 in MS65+ at PCGS. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,750, which jumps to $16,500 in MS65. An important opportunity for any collector of gold dollars, New Orleans mint gold, or anyone looking for a neat gold dollar for a type set. Good luck! Cert. Number 36472635 PCGS # 007508
