The United States gold dollar, produced from 1849 to 1889, occupies a unique niche in American numismatics as the smallest gold coin ever issued for general circulation by the U.S. Mint. Produced across three distinct design types, they span four decades of American economic and artistic history, from the California Gold Rush era through the post-Civil War period of Reconstruction and industrial expansion. This 1881 Type III Indian Gold Coin boasts an impressive PR67 grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), with a DCAM designation. Right now, the 1881 Pre-33 $1 Indian Gold Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1881 Pre-33 $1 Indian Gold Coin is available with a stunning PR67 certification, indicating a coin with full, original mint luster and no more than three or four minuscule contact marks. No hairlines are visible to the naked eye on this specimen. The DCAM designation indicates the coin has strong, frosted devices with deeply-mirrored, clear fields. The Philadelphia Mint struck only 87 of these proofs in 1881, making it a great collectible piece.
The Type III $1 Gold Coin, introduced in 1856 and produced through the final year of the series in 1889, addressed the practical shortcomings of its predecessors by enlarging the coin’s diameter while maintaining its authorized weight. Designed by James B. Longacre, the Type III features a larger, more finely detailed portrait of an Indian Princess figure wearing a feathered headdress — a design choice that lent the series a distinctly American character.
For the obverse of the 1881 Pre-33 Indian Gold Coin, the field presents Longacre’s Indian Princess portrait in its mature form, with the figure facing left and wearing a feathered headdress of considerable detail and artistry. The effigy of Liberty is shown with the inscription of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircling the portrait.
In the reverse of the 1881 $1 Indian Gold Coin, the design features an agricultural wreath of corn, cotton, tobacco, and wheat encircling the denomination expressed as “1 DOLLAR” at the center. This wreath design, a hallmark of Longacre’s aesthetic approach, elegantly references the agrarian wealth of the young nation while providing a visually balanced and harmonious composition.
