USA Dollar Coins of the 1800s Set of Two Gold Dollars and One Silver Dollar Premium Quality

Travel back to the 1800s with this three-piece United States dollar collection including two different dollar coins, one struck in gold and the other in silver. The collection includes a Liberty Head gold dollar dated from 1849 to 1854, and Indian Princess gold dollar issued from 1854 to 1889, and a Silver Morgan dollar dated from 1878 to 1899, all presented together in a mahogany finish display case. All three coins are original issues from the 1800s in high-grade collectible condition.

While Alexander Hamilton first proposed both silver and gold dollar coins for circulation, the gold dollars were not issued until the beginning of the California Gold Rush in 1849.  Both major types of gold dollars are included in this collection together with a Morgan silver dollar.

Liberty Head Gold Dollar, 1849–1854
The obverse design features a Liberty head facing left. She wears a coronet bearing the word "Liberty" on her head. Thirteen stars encircle her image to represent the original 13 states. The reverse presents the date and denomination within a wreath, which shows holly and berries. Engraved around this centre is the name of the country, "United States of America."

Indian Princess Gold Dollar, 1854–1889
Starting in late 1854, the gold dollar was redesigned with the same weight, but slightly thinner with a larger diameter to make it easier to use in commerce. The obverse of this "Indian Princess" design coin features Lady Liberty depicted as an Indigenous princess. She faces left and wears a feathered headdress. Around the image are the words "United States of America." On the reverse is an agricultural wreath that includes corn, cotton, wheat and tobacco. Inside the wreath are the denomination and year, with "United States of America" around the outside of the wreath.

Morgan Silver Dollar, 1878–1899
While silver dollars were first issued in the United States in 1794, it was the discovery of the Comstock Lode of rich silver ore in Nevada (then Utah Territory) that spurred the large-scale production of silver dollars both for circulation and to back American "silver certificate" paper money. From 1878 to 1904, and then again in 1921, silver dollars designed by George Morgan were produced in several different mints across the United States. The coin features a profile portrait of Liberty on one side and an eagle with outstretched wings on the other.
