1866-1908 Gold $5 Liberty Head with Case Main Image

Grade

<p>Designed by Christian Gobrecht, these coins displayed a smaller, revised depiction of Liberty. Her hair was placed in a loose bun with braiding around the forehead and temples &ndash; a departure from earlier designs, which showed Liberty wearing a cap. The reverses show an eagle with a shield, clutching arrows and olive branches in its talons.</p><br/>

1871-S Liberty Head $20 Gold Main Image

<p>Featuring one of the best-known U.S. coinage designs, the Liberty Head $20 gold pieces of 1849-1907 were authorized following the major discovery of gold in California in 1848 (no $20 coins had previously been minted). Designed by James B. Longacre, the coin bears the profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed liberty. The reverse depicts a shield and an eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows. The motto in god we trust was added above the eagle in 1866.</p><br/>

The 1926 Indian Head $10 gold pieces (also known as eagles) are from an era when precious metal coinage played an important role in the nation`s economy. Not only were these beautiful coins used in daily commerce, but they helped back Gold Certificate paper currency - which was redeemable for gold coin on demand.

1878 $3 Gold Indian Head Main Image

<p>Considered one of the most unusual coin denominations struck by the U.S. Mint, the beautiful $3 Indian Princess gold coin was supposedly created to make it easier to purchase a sheet of one hundred 3&cent; stamps or a bag of one hundred 3&cent; silver coins. But the public never embraced the idea and as a result, mintages were low.</p><br/><p>Designed by James Longacre, the obverse shows Liberty as an Indian Princess facing left, wearing a headdress inscribed with <span sx="{'fontVariant': 'small-caps'}">liberty</span>. Struck only in limited quantities from 1854 to 1889 (a total of 538,074 coins were produced, during the span of 36 years) the beautiful $3 Indian Princess is now a scarce, precious 19th century collectible.</p><br/>

1932 $10 Indian Head Gold Eagle Main Image

The 1932 Indian Head $10 gold pieces were really the last circulating $10 gold coins produced by the U.S. Mint. Though 1933-dated Indian Head $10 gold pieces were struck, nearly all were melted at the U.S. Mint after a 1933 Act of Congress halted the minting of gold coins and called in large holdings for redemption. The 1932 $10 Indian Head is a prized collectible from an earlier era in America, when money meant the beauty and brilliance of precious gold!

	<p><strong>Once Used In Commerce, Now Coveted By Collectors</strong> &bull; For thousands of years, gold coins served as the backbone of commerce. So when America established its currency system, the Coinage Act of 1792 called for three denominations of US gold coins: the gold eagle ($10), the <a id="Category_Bullion_US-Gold_liberty-head-gold-coins_Blog" target="_blank" href="https://blog.littletoncoin.com/liberty-head-gold-coins/">gold half eagle ($5)</a> and the gold quarter eagle ($2.50). Since then, US coinage has grown to include other gold coins – including ones struck for commerce, commemorative issues and no less than four separate series of gold bullion coins.</p>

      <h2>Gold Rushes Bring New U.S. Gold Coins</h2>
      <p>It didn't take long for "gold fever" to sweep the new nation. In 1802, a hefty 17-lb. rock being used as a doorstop in North Carolina <a id="Category_Bullion_US-Gold_doorstop-sets-off-americas-first-gold-rush_Blog" target="_blank" href="https://blog.littletoncoin.com/doorstop-sets-off-americas-first-gold-rush/">was identified as gold</a>. The first US gold rush was on! By 1835, the US Mint had established a branch mint in Charlotte. Then the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 triggered the great California gold rush and the establishment of the San Francisco Mint. New denominations of US gold coins were also struck, including the gold dollar, the $3 gold piece, the $4 gold "Stella" and the $20 gold Double Eagle.</p>
	  <h2>Outlawed for Forty Years</h2>
	  <p>In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order requiring all persons turn in not only their US gold coins, but all gold bullion and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve – or face hefty fines and/or imprisonment. Gold remained illegal to own for over 40 years, until President Gerald Ford rescinded the order and signed Public Law 93-373 on December 31, 1974, making it legal once more for US citizens to own gold and use it in trade.</p>
	  <h2>A New Age for U.S. Gold Coins</h2>
	  <p>On December 17, 1985 President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Gold Bullion Coin Act. Gold coins were no longer used in everyday commerce, but the mint once again had the authority to issue gold coins. The popular American Eagle bullion series was quickly introduced. And since then, no less than three other series of US gold bullion coins have been issued: the American Buffalo, the First Spouse and the American Liberty.
