One of the more distinctive coins issued by the United States Mint before 1933 was the $3 Gold Coin. Approved on February 21, 1853, this coin was created by James B. Longacre, the Chief Engraver at the time. The coin stayed in production for 35 years with its original design until 1889, when it was discontinued. Now, 1889 Pre-33 $3 Indian Princess Gold Coins in Mint State condition are available from BGASC. **Highlights:** - **Arrives in a protective plastic slab!** - **Final issued date in the $3 Indian Princess Series!** - **Declared mintage of only 2,300 coins!** - **Limited availability of certified coins!** - Contains .1451 troy oz of actual gold content. - Bears a face value of $3 (USD) backed by the federal government. - Issued a Grade of Mint State 63 by the Professional Coin Grading Service. - The obverse features Liberty in left-profile relief. - On the reverse is a wreath with the denomination and year of issue. Each 1889 Pre-33 $3 Indian Princess Gold Coin available here comes sealed in a PCGS plastic slab and has earned a Mint State 63 grade. These coins may show moderate abrasions and light hairlines, along with average or slightly soft strikes, but they remain popular with collectors. **Obverse** On the obverse of the 1889 Pre-33 Indian Princess Gold Coin, Lady Liberty is shown in left-profile wearing a feathered headdress. The design includes a border with the name of the issuing country around her portrait. **Reverse** The reverse of the 1889 $3 Indian Princess Gold Coin features the coins face value and the year of issue enclosed within a wreath at the center. **History** The $3 Indian Princess Gold Coin was produced from 1854 to 1889 and is remembered as one of the most unusual denominations in US history. The main goal behind the $3 coin was to simplify buying sheets of three-cent postage stamps. However, its odd denomination prevented it from ever being widely used, so surviving pieces are considered collectible today. **Ordering** For any questions about gold coins, please reach out to BGASC.
