Description
The 1867 Proof Indian Princess Three Dollar is a proof dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Indian Princess Three Dollars 1854-1889 series. With a mintage of only 50, this is an extremely rare issue. The obverse features a female figure wearing a feathered headdress, representing Liberty in the guise of a Native American princess, similar to but distinct from the gold dollar design, while the reverse displays a wreath of tobacco, wheat, corn, and cotton enclosing the denomination 3 DOLLARS and date. Designed by James Barton Longacre. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 5.02 grams, 20.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #98030. The Three Dollar gold piece is one of the most unusual denominations in U.S. A challenging series with many low-mintage dates. The 1870-S is a legendary rarity (unique). Proof-only dates and the overall scarcity of the denomination make it a prestige series for gold specialists.
