The Indian Princess Head gold coin is a beautiful piece of American History. In fact, it’s the only $3 gold piece ever struck by the U.S. mint!
Back in 1854, Congress approved the creation of a $3 piece to match the postage price of that era. Stamps cost 3 cents, so this nifty coin could buy you a book of 100 stamps. The $3 denomination coin was minted for less than 40 years before being retired forever.
It’s rarity and low mintage make the $3.00 Indian Princess Head highly sought after as an antique and collectable.
