1862 $1 Indian Head Gold MS-63 NGC
In 1862, the Philadelphia Mint produced a significant run of gold dollar coins, striking 1,361,355 pieces. Lacking a mint mark, these small treasures represent the classic Indian Head design of the pre-1933 era. This particular specimen has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63), preserving its delicate features and original luster. Struck from 90 percent pure gold, this coin contains 0.0484 troy ounces of precious metal. The reverse of the coin clearly displays the denomination and the date of production, arranged in three lines as 1 DOLLAR 1862. It stands as a fascinating artifact from a turbulent period in United States history, offering a tangible connection to the monetary system of the mid nineteenth century.
