$1 Gold Liberty Type 1 – Cleaned/Low Grade: product overview
A small coin from the gold-rush era
The Type 1 Liberty Head gold dollar was issued from 1849 through 1854, during the expansion of American gold coinage following the California gold discoveries. Its compact Liberty-head format preceded the larger-diameter redesign. The historical type gives context to this offering, while the stated grade—not the romance of the gold rush—describes its condition.
What distinguishes this offering

Frequently asked questions
Does the Type 1 name guarantee a gold-rush provenance?
No. It identifies the coin design. A claim that an individual coin came from a particular owner, collection or gold shipment requires separate documentation.
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.
