1874 $3 Gold Indian Princess MS66
The 1874 $3 Gold Indian Princess is part of one of the most distinctive series ever produced by the United States Mint. Designed by James B. Longacre, the $3 Gold piece was struck from 1854 through 1889 and remains unique among American coinage for both its denomination and its elegant design.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 90% gold, the coin weighs 5.02 grams and contains 0.1451 troy ounces of pure gold. The obverse depicts Liberty as an Indian Princess wearing a feathered headdress, while the reverse features the denomination and date surrounded by an agricultural wreath representing the nation's prosperity.
Certified MS66 by PCGS, this coin retains full Mint State status with original luster and attractive detail. With a PCGS population of only 6, this certified example is a scarce offering within the series.
Combining an unusual denomination, iconic design, and limited availability in Mint State grades, the 1874 $3 Gold Indian Princess is a noteworthy example of 19th-century United States gold coinage.
