There are a range of coins it could be, so if you write the description of the coin into a website called Numista it should come up with an accurate search result :)
Retail value for a US large cent dated 1849 is $20.00-$60.00 for a coin showing heavy to medium wear. A coin with light wear is $180.00-$220.00 depending on grade.
1849 is the first year for U.S. gold dollars -- anything dated any older than that is not real.There are 6 different types made in 1849, so you could have a common one or a very rare one. Individual first-hand inspection is required.More:If the coin is about the size of a quarter and has a picture of the Statue of Liberty on the back, it's a modern $1 coin made of brass, not gold. There are a couple of billion of them so feel free to spend it. 1845-1849 are the dates that James K. Polk served as president, not the year the coin was issued.
The coin you have is likely a German coin featuring Friedrich I, the Grand Duke of Baden. Friedrich I ruled from 1856 to 1907 and his image was commonly featured on coins during that time period. These coins are often collected by numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
There is only ONE U.S. 1849 Twenty Dollar (Double Eagle) gold coin. It's a national treasure that is in the Smithsonian collection. The coin is priceless.
I have a coin with "II MARIE GROS:" dated 1694. Talk to me!
A US dollar coin dated 1797 is a Draped Bust dollar. If you actually have a dollar coin dated 1797, take it to a coin dealer for an accurate assessment. The coin is rare.
In order to give an estimated value on this coin it is necessary to know the date on the coin, the denomination of the coin and its national origin.
Hmmm ... in 1849 a coin dated 1849 would be new, wouldn't it? Assuming you're referring to U.S. coins: > Half cents and cents were copper > Half dimes, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and large dollars were made of silver with a small amount of copper. > Small dollars, $2.50, $5, $10, and $20 coins were made of gold and a small amount of copper.
$20 gold pieces were struck from 1849 to 1932 at about a half-dozen mints so you need to post a more specific question. At a minimum it's worth several hundred dollars simply for its gold content, but it could be worth much more as a collectible. You need post a new question with its date is and whether it has a mint mark. One coin is dated 1882 and in fine condition, the second coin is dated 1875 and in fine condition.
if it is in good condition, probably over 50, 000 because a 1927 St. Gaudens 20 gold coin from the Denver mint pulled in over 500,000 at an auction i beleive... The earliest U.S. 20 Dollar gold coin (Double Eagle) was dated 1849. Yours must be from another country.
