1853 Liberty Head Gold Dollar

<p>When gold was discovered at Sutter&#39;s Mill, Forty Niners rushed to California and ore from their mines became the first U.S. gold dollars &ndash; the 1849-1854 Liberty Head (Type 1) issues. Depicting Liberty wearing a coronet, the 90% gold coins offered here were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1853 &ndash; the year before the San Francisco Mint opened.</p><br/><p>Today, these first gold dollars are hard to find, because over 75% of Liberty gold dollars have been melted down and only 1% are estimated to survive in collectible condition. Get a historic coin born of the California gold rush while supplies last.</p><br/>
