1849 Open Wreath Gold Dollar, MS66+
D-4, Marvelous Type Coin

1849 G$1 Open Wreath, D-4, Close Stars, MS66+ PCGS Secure. No Type One gold dollar issue is plentiful in Premium Gem condition, although the 1849 comes as close as any. Although rare, MS66 examples of the Open Wreath first-year issue can be obtained with patient searching. This is the lone Plus-graded example in this grade at PCGS, where just two coins are listed finer. In addition to a sharp strike and virtually flawless preservation, this high-end type coin showcases glowing luster that readily shimmers when played beneath a light. Eye appeal is spectacular. On the reverse, an interesting die crack extends from the rim at the I in UNITED, through the DOLL in DOLLAR, and then through the 9 in the date. Dannreuther-4 is distinguished by obverse stars placed close to the bust and thin date numerals on the reverse. Population (all Open Wreath varieties): 15 in 66 (1 in 66+), 2 finer (11/18).
