Description

The 1873 Liberty Gold Dollar - Closed 3 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 1,800, this is an extremely rare issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 1% of total 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. Open 3 and Close 3 varieties exist. The Coinage Act of 1873 continued the denomination. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $466 to $868 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 #7574.
