1855 $1 Indian Head Gold Dollar MS-63 NGC

---

In 1855, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 758,269 gold dollar coins featuring the distinct Indian Head design. Strikingly small yet rich in detail, these pieces contain 0.0484 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.900. Because they were struck at the main Philadelphia facility, they do not bear a mint mark, leaving the clean fields of the coin to showcase the artistry of the era. This specific coin has survived the decades in remarkable condition, certified by professional graders at Mint State 63 (MS-63). At this grade, the delicate features of the Indian Head design remain wonderfully preserved, offering a clear window into mid nineteenth century American coinage and the craftsmanship of the pre 1933 gold era.
