billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 4:21 pm This coin is in my Type I gold dollar collection. Although The Red Book might lead you to believe that this coin is as common as the Open Wreath varieties, it isn't. You have to do some digging at the shows to find it. Report this Post to the Staff

Let me add that David Bowers does not mention the difference in "Grading Coins by Photographs." Thanks Bill. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 10:13 pm I will say MS 63+ for this one since the luster seems a bit impaired Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 09:06 am NGC graded this 1849 Close Wreath gold dollar MS-64. The lack of marks might suggest a higher grade, but the surfaces have a satin, not a flashy finish. I have learned that the grades are more impressed with flashy luster than they are smooth surfaces. I've seen coins, with more marks than they should have had for the grade assigned, get a boost because of strong luster. Report this Post to the Staff
