The smallest gold coins ever produced by the U.S. Mint, Gold Dollars are widely cherished by collectors but have been largely overlooked by investors. As a result, they are remarkably undervalued in the current market. In gem-quality Mint State 65 condition, they combine extreme scarcity, a fascinating design, and very low prices to create an excellent investment coin.

Low prices, excellent performance

Minted from 1856 to 1889, Type III $1 Indian Head gold coins were produced in relatively limited numbers and almost all were heavily used as currency or melted down during the Depression. Only 2,728 survivors are known in gem-quality Mint State 65 condition (PCGS + NGC, 12/18/09). Despite their extreme scarcity, they are an outstanding value right now.

During periods of high demand, Type III Gold Dollars in MS65 have skyrocketed in price because of their extreme scarcity and collector interest. In 1989, during the last rare coin boom, they traded dealer-to-dealer for more than $7,300.*

Fascinating design, constant collector demand

Usually known as the Indian Large Head or Indian Princess design, Type III gold dollars were created by James B. Longacre, Chief Engraver for the U.S. Mint from 1844 until his death in 1869, on the model of his classic $3 Princess gold coin design. Historians now believe his model for both designs was a Roman marble sculpture of "Crouching Venus" on display at the Philadelphia museum, to which he added the distinctive Indian feathered headdress. The reverse depicts a wreath of tobacco, wheat, corn, and cotton. This was the last real gold dollar struck for regular issue.

Gold is enjoying its most aggressive and sustained bull market in a quarter-century. Experts are predicting gold prices as high as $1,500 to $2,000 in coming years. We urge you to take advantage of this temporary buying opportunity to increase your core position with these classic coins. When gold breaks out again, you'll be glad you did!
