Description
1849-O Open Wreath Gold Dollar
An Attractive, Sharply Struck Gem
1849-O G$1 Open Wreath MS65 PCGS. Variety 1. Stars weaker at
top than bottom, some doubled. All known examples of the 1849-O
gold dollar are of the Open Wreath variety as no Close Wreath dies
were received at the New Orleans Mint in time for the 1849 coinage.
The 1849-O can be obtained with minimal difficulty through MS62,
while Select and near-Gem examples will take somewhat more patience
and searching. Gems, on the other hand, are seldom seen and very
desirable, and anything finer is virtually unobtainable.As with many New Orleans issues, the 1849-O is often weakly struck. This MS65 example is an exception as the design features are sharply delineated. Additionally, bright mint luster is seen throughout, as is warm reddish-gold color. A short (as struck) grease stain over the right side of the wreath will help identify the coin. Population: 4 in 65, 0 finer (9/11).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25BE, PCGS# 7508, Greysheet# 8056)
Weight: 1.67 grams
