Description
The 1871 Liberty Gold Dollar is a Gold Dollar produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Large Indian Princess Head Gold Dollars 1856-1889 series. With a mintage of 3,900, this is an extremely rare 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. Small Philadelphia mintage. Gold dollars were approaching obsolescence. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $580 to $2.1K 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 #7571.
