NGC AU-55 $1 Liberty Head Gold Coin Type II - Random Year

The $1 Liberty Coin experienced three design revisions. The Type II version, known as the Indian Princess design, features Lady Liberty on the obverse. However, the complexity of the image led to production errors, necessitating the replacement of these coins.
