Description
1850-O US Gold $1 Liberty Head Dollar
Certified PCGS Genuine - AU Detail Mount Removed
US Gold $1 Liberty Head Dollar represents the first series for the smallest gold denomination ever produced by the United States Mint.

They were minted from 1849 - 1854 and survived the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 which outlawed private ownership of gold in the United States.
Coin Design
Obverse: Liberty surrounded by 13 stars
Reverse: Open wreath or closed wreath
Coin Artist
Obverse and Reverse: James B. Longacre (1794 - 1869)
