Large Indian Princess Head Gold Dollars 1856-1889

About This Series

The Type 3 gold dollar, a refined version of the Indian Princess design with a shallower relief for improved striking. This final gold dollar design was produced for 34 years at up to three mints. The 1861-D, struck by Confederate forces after seizing the Dahlonega Mint, is historically significant. Mintages declined in later years as the denomination became obsolete.
