1849-O Gold Dollar. Winter-3. MS-62+ (PCGS). Warmly patinated in honey-gold, this handsome piece also displays sharp striking detail where allowed by the variety and die state. Winter-3 is characterized by severe lapping of the reverse die, which explains the weakness to many design elements. A perennially popular issue, the 1849-O is the first gold dollar from the New Orleans Mint. From our (Bowers and Merenas) Pennsylvania Cabinet sale, November 1997, lot 1122. Lot tag included.
