NGC MS-63 $1 Indian Princess Gold Dollar Coin Type III - Random Year

NGC MS-63 $1 Indian Princess Gold Dollar Coin Type III - Random Year

With the gold influx coming from the California Gold Rush, the US Mint introduced a new $1 Gold Dollar denomination in 1849.

The first design, created by James Barton Longacre, featured Lady Liberty wearing a tiara. However, it was redesigned in 1854, replacing the tiara with a Native American headdress.

The Type II version was short-lived as many US Mint branches expressed difficulties minting this coin, so the design was reworked again in 1856, with Lady Liberty on the obverse being depicted with a slightly larger head than in the previous dies. The Type III Indian Princess went on to be struck until 1889, when the $1 Gold Dollar denomination was discontinued.

Today, SD Bullion offers $1 Indian Princess Gold Dollar Coins Type III graded MS-63 by NGC.

The Design

The Indian Princess design is a creation of James B. Longacre. It consists of a feminine left-profile bust wearing an Indian headdress engraved with the word “LIBERTY.” The inscription on the outer rim read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

The design was reworked in 1856, slightly enlarging Lady Liberty’s head. Hence, this coin was later known as the Indian Princess Large Head Gold Dollar.

The reverse design showcases the face value “1 DOLLAR” with the mint year right below, amidst an agricultural wreath.
