CAC approved. This was the ONLY XF45 that CAC had approved at the time of purchase. (I since received CAC approval on another which is in my 19th Century type set.) I first saw it at lot viewing for a Stack's auction and placed what I thought was a generous bid on the internet. But I was outbid by just a few dollars by a floor bidder who turned out to be a long-time dealer friend. He sent it to CAC and listed it on his website. I saw it and got reunited with this beauty. It cost me a few hundred extra but at least I finally brought this girl home. This coin looks even better in-hand that it does in the photos.

CAC approved. Rare U.S. gold coin expert Douglas Winter described this example: Variety 1-A. The 1849-D is numismatically significant as the first gold dollar made at the new Dahlonega mint. It is by far the most available gold dollar struck at this facility and it is plentiful in circulated grades although only 10% of the coins graded EF and AU are “CAC quality.” This lustrous piece has the body and appearance of an AU50 to AU53. It is well made and original with some luster and pleasing natural green-gold color. A bit of planchet roughness at the inner left obverse is mint-made and does not detract from the excellent overall eye appeal. The last PCGS EF45 with CAC approval to sell at auction was this exact coin which brought $2,056 as Heritage 2013 ANA: 4934. This is the best available quality at a reasonable price and it is desirable as such. CAC has approved four in this grade with 25 higher.
