Description
While the 1849 California Gold Rush is common knowledge, this fantastic U.S. gold dollar is unknown to most Americans. Three varieties were produced by the U.S. Mint in the mid to late 1800s. We are offering the pre-Civil War Type 1 variety, with years dating between 1849-1854. This coin is a direct result of the California Gold Rush, and is the smallest regular issue gold dollar coin at just 13 mm in diameter.
