Pre-1933 American gold coins are widely sought after by numismatists throughout the United States. In particular, American gold coins struck between 1834 and 1933 are known for their consistent weights across each denomination and their dependable gold content, which was established at 90% gold with the remaining 10% made up of copper. Offering both notable gold purity and a unique connection to several important periods in American history, these coins remain an essential addition for collectors. Now, the 1861 Pre-33 $1 Indian Head Gold Coin is available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1861 Pre-33 $1 Indian Head Gold Coin arrives in MS62 condition. Coins with this grade showcase acceptable eye appeal with dull mint luster. Clusters of small contact marks are possible, with a few large marks also present. This coin represents the Type III design in the series, incorporating the third iteration of the Liberty Head design on the obverse and the second iteration of the reverse design.
The obverse of the 1861 Pre-33 $1 Indian Head Coin features a left-profile portrait of Liberty wearing a feathered headdress, often called the “Indian Princess” design, though it actually represents Liberty rather than a Native American figure. The nation of issue encircles the portrait above, with the date below.
On the reverse of the 1861 Pre-33 Indian Head Gold Coin, the design displays a simple agricultural wreath of corn, wheat, cotton, and tobacco surrounding the denomination and the year of issue. The design symbolizes American agricultural prosperity.
The 1861 Gold Dollar with the Type 3 Indian Head design was minted during the first year of the Civil War, a tumultuous period that affected gold coin production and circulation as precious metals were hoarded and paper currency became more prevalent. This small denomination gold piece, measuring just 15mm in diameter, represents one of the smallest regularly circulating coins in American history and remains popular with collectors due to its historical significance and distinctive design.
