One Dollar Gold Coin (1 dollar gold coin) is the smallest coin that the U.S.
has ever minted. The One Dollar Gold Coin (1 dollar gold coin) made its debut
in 1849. This one dollar gold coin is also the smallest denomination of US gold
coins ever minted, and the 1 dollar gold coin is highly sought after by collectors.
It
was the California Gold rush that prompted the government to mint gold dollar
coins. The huge supply of gold coming from from California prompted Congress to
authorize three new denominations in 1849 - a one dollar gold coin, a three-dollar
gold coin and a double eagle (twenty-dollar) gold coin.
The reverse of
the one dollar gold coin (1 dollar gold coin) features a portrait of Miss Liberty
with a coronet (crown) in her hair. Liberty is encircled by 13 stars, symbolic
of the 13 original colonies. The reverse of the coin bears the denomination 1
DOLLAR and the date within a wreath , which is encircled by the inscription UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
These coins were minted on an annual basis from 1849-54.
When
first released into circulation there were many complaints from the public to
the one dollar gold coin tiny size. The 1 dollar gold coin was only thirteen millimeters
in diameter - more than 25% smaller than today’s Roosevelt dime. This made
the one dollar gold coin easy to lose.
During 1849-54 gold dollars were
struck at five different mints — Philadelphia (no mint mark), Charlotte (C),
Dahlonega (D), New Orleans (O) and San Francisco (S)
It is estimated that
over 12 million gold dollars were minted during the 6 year period of their production.
However, only about 300 examples of the one dollar gold coin (1 dollar gold coin)
are known to be in uncirculated conditon.
Many collectors collect this
coin by type or variety of which there are several. For example, there is is the
Closed Wreath variety, the Open Wreath variety, the “No L” variety,
the Small Head and the Large Head.
