This remarkable 1849 American gold dollar represents a watershed moment in United States numismatic history—the inaugural year of the gold dollar series. Introduced following the California Gold Rush, this diminutive yet historically significant coin marked America's first circulating gold dollar denomination. The 1849 issue is particularly coveted by collectors due to its limited mintage and foundational status within the series. Despite its small physical size, this coin contains genuine gold content and exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of the mid-19th-century U.S. Mint. An indispensable piece for serious numismatists specialising in early American gold coinage, gold dollar series collectors, or those seeking authentic artefacts from the Gold Rush era. A genuine historical treasure with enduring investment appeal.
