1849 Open Wreath Gold Dollar, MS64+
Distant Stars, D-3

1849 G$1 Open Wreath, D-3, Distant Stars, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. John Dannreuther documents five die varieties of 1849 gold dollars including one Closed Wreath variety and four Open Wreath die pairs. The D-3 variety has an initial L on Liberty's neck truncation, and has the star at 6:30 directly below the bust point and close to the border. This spectacular bright yellow-gold example that has been off the market for half-a-century features a brilliant, prooflike obverse and a satiny reverse. Both sides exhibit a bold strike and exceptional eye appeal.
