1861 Gold Dollar (1861 G$1) PCGS MS64 CAC. Civil War Date. 1861 Indian Princess Head, Large Head (Type 3) Gold Dollar. Tension which had built over decades between the North and South finally boiled over in 1861 as eleven states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. By April Civil War had erupted and would rage on for four bloody years forever changing the landscape of America.

Despite a healthy mintage of gold dollars in Philadelphia that year, gem and near gem pieces such as the one offered here are quite scarce. This exquisite piece has a fantastic strike and razor sharp detail. Luscious rich satin luster oozes over the honey lemon surfaces and the eye appeal is off the charts. Gorgeous in every way, this fine example looks as if it just left the Mint yesterday. CAC has reviewed and approved this piece attesting to its superior quality. This is a rare and desirable Civil War gold dollar that will fit well into a superb gold type set or numismatic investment portfolio.
