$1 Gold Indian Type 3 – Cleaned/Low Grade: product overview
The final gold-dollar design
The Type 3 gold dollar, often called the Large Head Indian Princess type, ran from 1856 through 1889. James B. Longacre’s enlarged portrait distinguished it from the preceding Type 2. This was the final regular gold-dollar design, and it spans a period from before the Civil War into the late nineteenth century.

Frequently asked questions
What does Type 3 identify?
It identifies the Large Head design of the gold-dollar series, not a third-party grade or a specific year. The condition and any cleaning notation in this offer must be considered separately.
How should the condition limitation affect my choice?
Cleaning, impairment, cull condition or a Details designation can affect collecting appeal. The specific limitation stated in this title remains part of the offer; it should not be read as a problem-free numerical grade.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
Does the asking price guarantee a later resale value?
No. A future offer can reflect the metal market, product demand, condition and selling costs. Compare current buy and sell quotations for the same product when evaluating the spread.
