The Type 1 Gold Dollar was introduced in 1849, the same year as the California Gold Rush. Designed by James B. Longacre, Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, the coin was created in response to the influx of gold and the need for new gold denominations. Type 1 Gold Dollars were the smallest diameter U.S. coins ever produced, measuring just 13 millimeters wide. Their petite size and delicate design made them popular for jewelry, but high-grade survivors like this certified MS 64 example are far rarer and highly collectible today. The Type 1 design was minted until 1854, when it was replaced due to difficulty in handling and die breakage.
