1849 G$1 Pacific Company, K-4 MS61
Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE
The Pacific Company gold dollar was believed to only exist as a pattern in silver until 1999, when a metal detectorist discovered an example buried in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A second specimen was properly attributed by numismatist Stuart Levine in 2002, after being misidentified as a gilt silver pattern for nearly a century. In 2022, a third example appeared, having been held by a family since the 1920s when it was pulled from the coin box in a San Francisco cable car. All known pieces are struck in debased gold (approximately.600-fine). Formerly known as (K-Unlisted) this item was cataloged as K-4 in 2025.

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
