    @Fugio1787 I used to own that one. It's a nice original coin. The coin at the top of the thread was the upgrade.

    @Manifest_Destiny The originality was what drew me to it

    G.S.L.C.P.G. = GREAT SALT LAKE CITY PURE GOLD

    Thanks to pogonip for providing his photo of a similar coin - though this one was not the one I once owned. His is a 2 1/2 and mine a 5 dollar.

    I have a wonderful 1849o in a terminal die state that is uncirculated but net graded to au55 due to the diagnostic weak strike from the heavily lapped die. It is filled with toned/colorful and vibrant luster under its original skin. One of the most attractive non-gem dollars I have seen. But I don’t have any good pictures that convey its look. Here is the best my phone can do it doesn’t come close to showing the greens oranges and reds or flashy semi PL luster

    Saw this one at a pawnshop, but it was too beat up for my liking.

    The only known 1849 $20 gold has long been known as an impaired Proof. I think that's grounds for melting it down, don't you? ;) It would have a hard time getting a CAC sticker if it were ever to be graded.
