Description
The 1864 Liberty Gold Dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the Large Indian Princess Head Gold Dollars 1856-1889 collection. With a mintage of 5,900, this is a scarce issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 99% 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. Low wartime mintage. Gold traded at steep premiums over paper currency. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $972 to $4.8K 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 #7563.
