The 1856 Gold Dollar is part of the United States' early gold coinage, issued during a period when gold was increasingly used for everyday transactions. These coins are notable for their small size and weight, typically weighing just 1.00 grams. The obverse features a liberty head design, while the reverse displays a simple wreath encircling the denomination. Gold Dollars from this era are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and relative rarity, especially in higher grades.
