If your coin is smaller than a dime and has a wreath on the back side you should have it evaluated by a qualified dealer or appraiser. There were 7 different types of $1 gold coins minted in 1849. Most are valued at $150 to $200 in moderately worn condition but a couple of them are worth many times those amounts which is why it's important to have an expert evaluate your coin in person.
If your coin is somewhat larger than a quarter and has a picture of the Statue of Liberty on the back it's actually a modern Presidential dollar and is brass rather than gold. 1849 is one of the dates of service for the president shown on the coin.
Only one genuine 1849 $20 gold piece is known, and it was designed by James Barton Longacre, not George T. Morgan. Any other supposed $20 gold piece with that date is either a fantasy coin, a replica, or an outright fake.
Please look at the coin again. No U.S. one dollar gold coins were made until 1849.
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.
This stuff is sold on TV for about $20.00 to $30.00 and shows up at a dealer or coin show in the junk box for 5 bucks.
Please check your coin again and post a new, separatequestion. The first gold $1 coins were minted in 1849, and the Charlotte Mint didn't open until 1838.
