1854-1856 $1 Gold Indian Princess Head Type 2 - Almost Uncirculated AU (Random Year)

Step back into the early days of American gold coinage with the 1854–1856 $1 Gold Indian Princess Head Type 2 – Almost Uncirculated (AU), Random Year. Struck by the United States Mint during the mid-19th century, this small but historic gold coin is composed of .900 fine gold and represents one of the most distinctive designs ever used. Offered in Almost Uncirculated condition, each coin retains strong detail and eye appeal, with dates selected at random based on availability.

The Indian Princess Head $1 Gold Coin was designed by James B. Longacre and introduced in 1854 as a replacement for the earlier Type 1 issue. The Type 2 design is immediately recognizable for its larger, more detailed portrait of Liberty wearing a Native American headdress, created to address striking issues found on the original design. Produced for only a short three-year period from 1854 to 1856, Type 2 Gold Dollars are scarce by nature, especially in higher circulated grades. These coins circulated during a transformative era in US history marked by westward expansion and the Gold Rush, making them prized relics of America’s economic development.
