The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the $1 Gold – Type 1 (1849–1854) series of Pre-1933 Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 4 distinct entries with CPG® values between $312.08 and $66,000.00.

Early in 1849 Chief Engraver James B. Longacre designed the new gold dollar coin

that was authorized by the Act of March 3. He then worked on the double eagle, finishing

in early 1850. The unique 1849 pattern piece resides in the Smithsonian. The

1861 reverse design by Anthony C. Paquet was withdrawn soon after being struck.

Very few pieces are known. Proof examples of $20 Liberty double eagles are rare and valuable. As with other U.S. gold issues, coins struck prior to 1856 are extremely rare.
