Bright Near-Mint 1849-D Gold Dollar

1849-D G$1 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. This was the first die struck for the gold dollar at the Dahlonega Mint. Only 6,593 pieces were made, and production stopped after Mint Director Robert Patterson said the reverse was unsatisfactory because it was "blurry." The fields are bright, especially on the obverse, with a semiprooflike gleam. Liberty's hair is notably soft on this example and each side displays rich orange-gold and lilac color with no notable abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
