1868 $1 Indian Princess Head Type 3 Gold Coin PCGS MS 62

Introducing the 1868 $1 Indian Princess Head Type 3 Gold Coin, graded MS 62 by PCGS, is a striking example of 19th-century American coinage. Struck from .900 fine gold with a weight of 0.0484 troy ounces, this coin showcases the intricate artistry of James B. Longacre's iconic design. Its MS 62 grade highlights its sharp details and brilliant luster, making it a desirable addition to any numismatic collection.

Introduced in 1856, the Type 3 design of the Indian Princess Head $1 Gold Coin replaced the short-lived Type 2 design. James B. Longacre’s depiction of Liberty wearing a Native American-inspired feathered headdress symbolized unity and strength, reflecting the spirit of the nation during a period of growth and transformation. The Type 3 design addressed the durability issues of its predecessor, featuring a slightly smaller diameter and thicker planchet for improved wear resistance. Produced until 1889, the coin remains a timeless representation of America's rich numismatic heritage.
