Description
The 1860 (S) Liberty Gold Dollar is a Gold Dollar produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Large Indian Princess Head Gold Dollars 1856-1889 series. With a mintage of 13,000, this is a scarce issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 25% of production. The obverse features a female figure wearing a feathered headdress, representing Liberty in the guise of a Native American princess with a larger, more detailed head design and the reverse displays a wreath enclosing the denomination 1 DOLLAR. Charlotte struck its final gold dollars before the Civil War. The 1860-D (estimated 1,000 struck) is extremely rare. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $580 to $7.4K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 1.7 grams, 14.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7557.
