1849 $1 Gold Liberty. No L PCGS MS67
<b>1849 &#36;1 Gold Liberty. No L. PCGS graded MS67.</b> An exciting gold dollar, simply outstanding, and all the more desirable as the first year of the type. While relatively the large head, No L variety is available in lesser grades up to and including the Gem MS65 level, the 1849 is very infrequently seen in MS 67 condition to say the least. What we see is that everything is very sharply defined throughout. The surface contains full golden mint bloom, while the fields and devices are entirely free from post-striking impairments. Razor-sharp devices including stars. An opportunity for the collector of high grade gold type or first year of type collectors.

The stars on the Type 1 Gold Dollar comprise a single uninterrupted circle around the coronet-bedecked Liberty. In opposition to the fashion of the period, where the date was usually affixed below the head, on this denomination the designer, James Longacre, put it to the reverse, contained by the wreath. 1849 dates, and only those of 1849, are found having either a wreath whose ends are nearly in contact at the top or a wreath that is much wider apart, hence the terms &#34;Closed Wreath&#34; or &#34;Open Wreath.&#34;
