Pleasing MS66 1849 No L Gold Dollar

1849 G$1 No L MS66 NGC. Stars 1, 10, and 13 are markedly repunched on this important first-year subtype, as the stars were hand-punched into the single working die for this variety. Only 1,000 pieces were minted of this No L variant, after which production was halted. Considerable numbers were saved, however, as the first year of issue. The so-called Small Head No L variant differs markedly from later issues: The wreath is open, Liberty's portrait is smaller, and no L is present on the design truncation.
This example offers glorious canary-yellow coloration with loads of luster and a small orange streak through the center reverse. The strike is bold and the surfaces are frosty and pleasing. A small reverse die crack runs from the rim through E(D) and to a leaf top. Census: 11 in 66, 8 finer (3/08).(Registry values: P4)
