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.
