1874 $3 Gold Princess AU-55 PCGS
In 1874, the United States Mint produced a distinctive denomination that stands out in the history of American coinage: the three dollar gold piece. This specific issue contains 0.1451 ounces of gold, struck with a purity of 0.900. With a total mintage of only 41,800 pieces, these coins represent a fascinating era of limited-production currency. The obverse features the profile of an Indian Princess, a stylized representation that gave the coin its famous nickname. On the reverse, the design showcases a detailed wreath encircling the denomination and the 1874 year of issue. Because this coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it does not bear a mint mark, a characteristic feature of the facility's output during this period.
