Description
1849 Closed Wreath Gold Dollar, MS66+
A Rarity This Fine
1849 G$1 Closed Wreath, D-5, Close Stars, MS66+ PCGS. CAC.
Ex: Simpson. Although plentiful in lower grades, the 1849 gold
dollar is conditionally scarce in Gem condition and it is rarely
seen finer. However, the Closed Wreath subtype is elusive in all
Mint State grades, and it is a major rarity in MS66. The Simpson
Premium Gem is within the Condition Census of known examples. PCGS
has seen 10 Closed Wreath submissions in MS66, but only the Simpson
coin and one other piece carry the added distinction of the Plus
designation. Moreover, only two Closed Wreath pieces are finer at
that service. This coin is attractive and luminous with beautifully
preserved lemon-gold and honey-orange surfaces. Slight strike
weakness appears in the central reverse and is also seen on the
highest points of Liberty's hair curls. Population: 10 in 66 (2 in
66+), 2 finer (9/20).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 521672, Base PCGS# 7503)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
