Where is the mint mark on a 1849 1 gold coin?
The mint mark on the US 1849 One Dollar coin is located on the reverse [tails] side of the coin under the wreath. There will be a “C” for Charlotte, North Carolina mint ; a “D” for Dahlonega, Georgia ; an “O” for New Orleans, Louisiana. The absence of a mint mark indicates the coin was struck at the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania mint.
