1874 $1 Liberty Head Gold MS-62 NGC
In 1874, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 198,800 gold dollar coins. These diminutive treasures represent a fascinating era in American coinage, featuring the classic Liberty Head design on their obverse. Because they were struck at the main Philadelphia facility, they carry no mint mark, leaving the focus entirely on the artistry of the engraving. This specific coin has survived the decades in exceptional condition, achieving a certified grade of Mint State 62 (MS-62). Struck from 90% pure gold, it contains 0.0484 troy ounces of precious metal. Finding a pre-1933 gold coin with this level of original luster and detail offers a captivating window into nineteenth-century commerce.
