Description
Attractive 1849-C Closed Wreath
Gold Dollar, MS63
1849-C G$1 Closed Wreath MS63 NGC. Variety 1. Though
infinitely more collectible than its Open Wreath counterpart, the
1849-C Closed Wreath dollar is far from common, particularly in
better grades. While the number of Mint State pieces in the
combined certified population approaches 50, Doug Winter believes
that a majority of these are resubmissions; in his 2008 edition of
Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint, he posits that only 10 to
15 distinct Uncirculated examples exist. This Select survivor has
lovely luster, bright yellow-gold with considerable flashiness. The
strike is pleasing, and while a number of fine abrasions are
present on each side, no single flaw is particularly distracting.
NGC shows just two numerically finer pieces in its Census
Report (8/09).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25BC, PCGS# 7505, Greysheet# 8053)
