1873 Open 3 $1 Gold Indian Princess Head Type 3 NGC MS 61
The 1873 Open 3 $1 Gold Indian Princess Head Type 3 is a rare and sought-after coin graded MS 61 by NGC, offering collectors a remarkable piece of American numismatic history. Struck from .900 fine gold with a total weight of 1.67 grams, this coin features the elegant Indian Princess Head design, a hallmark of 19th-century U.S. With its gold content and historical significance, this coin is a prized collectible for both investors and numismatists.
The $1 Gold Indian Princess Head was introduced in 1856 as part of the Type 3 series, designed by James B. Longacre, the U.S. Mint’s Chief Engraver. The Type 3 coin features a more refined depiction of Liberty, wearing a feathered headdress. The year 1873 is especially notable because the "Open 3" variety was produced after public dissatisfaction with the original "Closed 3" design, which was easily confused with an "8." The 1873 Open 3 $1 Gold coin is one of the final years of the U.S. Mint’s production of $1 gold pieces, making it a significant addition to any collection.
