The G$1 Gold coin, also known as the Liberty Head or the Indian Head gold dollar, was minted in the United States from 1849 to 1889. The 1880 G$1 Gold coin features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, with the obverse depicting Lady Liberty and the reverse showcasing a wreath. These coins contain 0.04837 troy ounces of gold and are popular among collectors due to their historical significance and the limited mintage of certain years. The 1880 issue is particularly sought after in higher grades due to its relative scarcity compared to other years.
