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.
