Indian Princess Head Gold Piece $1 (1856-1889 Type 3)
Price: $649.00
Gold has always been treasured for its beauty and lasting value, and classic United States gold coins are the most respected and sought-after in the world. But the last circulating gold coins were minted more than 70 years ago, and over 90% of all U.S. gold coins were melted by the U.S. government in the 1930's. Millions more were melted for quick profits when the price of gold bullion shot up. As a result, only a tiny fraction of the original coins remain – especially in Extremely Fine condition.
This is the perfect time to start – or add to – your collection of United States gold coins. However, you must order now, because the rising cost of gold means that today's low prices could soon be just a memory!
Indian Head Gold coins are the most stunning coins in history – as well as the last gold coins made for circulation. The $2.50 and $5 gold coins are the only U.S. coins with "incuse" designs that are sunk into the surface rather than standing above it. The $10 and $20 coins were created by legendary sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and are America’s most beautiful coins.
Includes Certificate of Authenticity bearing the signature mark of Jay W. Johnson, former Director of the U.S. Mint.
