Description
Part of the Indian Princess Three Dollars 1854-1889 series, the 1874 Indian Princess Three Dollar is a dollar from the Philadelphia Mint. With a mintage of 41,800, this is a less common issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 100% of production. The obverse features a female figure wearing a feathered headdress, representing Liberty in the guise of a Native American princess, similar to but distinct from the gold dollar design and the reverse displays a wreath of tobacco, wheat, corn, and cotton enclosing the denomination 3 DOLLARS and date. Low production year at Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $1.4K to $4.8K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 5.02 grams, 20.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7998.
