The US $1 gold coin introduced in 1849 is one of the most sought-after historic US gold coins. This particular 1849-D specimen is a unique addition to any collection, with its low mintage and its origins at the defunct Dahlonega Mint in Georgia. A symbol of American gold coin production from the antebellum South, this coin is a Type I specimen from the series. Today, the 1849-D Pre-33 $1 Liberty Gold Coin is available at JM Bullion.

  • Type I specimen.
  • D mint mark from the Dahlonega Mint.

The Dahlonega Mint, established in 1838 in the mountains of northern Georgia following America’s first major gold rush, was one of only three branch mints authorized to produce gold coins in the antebellum South. Operating until 1861 when it was seized by Confederate forces at the outbreak of the Civil War, the mint struck gold coins in denominations of $1, $2.50, $3, and $5, all bearing the distinctive “D” mint mark that makes them highly prized by collectors today.

This 1849-D Pre-33 $1 Liberty Gold Coin comes in Mint State 61 condition. The coin shows a bright, rich yellow-gold surface with satin-like luster. The designs are crisply refined, while the coin offers uniform color to the gold and balanced relief across the design elements.

For the obverse of 1849-D $1 Liberty Coins, you’ll find James B. Longacre’s Type I design of Liberty. This design featured on the obverse of $1 US Gold Coins from 1849 to 1854 and shows Liberty in left-profile relief with a coronet crown on her head and 13 stars around the design field.

In the reverse design of the 1849-D Pre-33 Liberty Gold Coin, you will find the Type I reverse design by Peter Filatreu Cross. This image was likewise used through 1854, and shows the denomination and date of the coin inside a loose wreath, with the nation of issue engraved around the outside of the wreath.

When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

  1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
    • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
  2. Holding period after cleared payment.
    • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
  3. Shipping method and transit time.
    • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
    • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.

All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact JM Bullion immediately so we can begin the claims process.

Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.

All UPS & FedEx shipments ship with a No Will Call restriction, meaning the package cannot be picked up from a UPS or FedEx location or just left at the delivery address. This is a precaution to prevent orders from being fraudulently intercepted.

UPS or FedEx will make three delivery attempts. If nobody is available at the delivery address to sign and accept delivery, the package will be returned to us.

All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.
