Philadelphia - Coins

The G$1 Gold Coin, also known as the "$1 Gold Piece," was introduced by the United States Mint in 1849 as part of the mid-19th century gold rush. The 1856 issue, minted in Philadelphia, features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, showcasing a Liberty head on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. Made of 90% gold and 10% copper, these coins have become highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relatively low mintage. The $1 Gold coins were produced until 1889 and are emblematic of early American gold coinage.
