$1 Indian Head Gold Dollar Type 2 (Damaged)
$1 Indian Head Gold Dollar Type 2 (Damaged)
This United States gold dollar represents a distinct design era in the nation's early coinage. Struck from 0.900 fine gold, this small denomination coin contains 0.0483 troy ounces of precious metal. Many of these coins were melted down in subsequent decades, making surviving examples fascinating objects of study for those interested in the evolution of American currency. The obverse of the coin features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a stylized hair band inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Surrounding this central figure are thirteen stars, representing the original colonies. On the reverse, the coin displays its face value of 1 Dollar along with the year of issue, encircled by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This particular example is in Very Fine condition, showing honest wear that tells its own story of survival.
