Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 72367)

The Liberty Gold Dollar Gold dollar is part of a series of Princess head gold dollar coins struck from 1856-1889. The specific variety is Type 3. Designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% gold; 10% copper.

The final design choice for the Gold Dollar denomination was determined in 1856 and lasted until 1889 when these dollars would see their permanent demise. Since the Type 1 Gold Dollar was too small and the Type 2 that was meant to fix that ended up having problems of its own, the mint had finally had enough and came up with a plan to resolve these issues for good. That is what resulted in the creation of the Type 3 Gold Dollar. The design was changed subtly yet dramatically in ways such as enlarging and rearranging the devices to make for better metal flow. This was the goal in order to maintain the larger sized coin but fix striking issues which for the most part was successful. Although, this fix was not perfect as the smaller branch mints still suffered from weak strikes so any Dahlonega minted Gold Dollar with a crisp strike is a coin whose desirability is beyond incredible. Some rare dates to lookout for are the 1856-D, 1861-D and 1875.
Obverse: Indian head portrait, larger than the type 2 design, with crown centered in the design surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery.
Reverse: "1 DOLLAR" is centered with date below, surrounded by a large wreath tied in a bow at the bottom. Mint mark, if any, appears at the bottom below the blow.

Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
