Lot 1417
1874 $3 Gold. AU-58. Well struck and lightly toned with semi reflective fields. We note a few minor hairlines scattered about. A high grade and very desirable example for a type set.
James B. Longacre's "Indian Princess" head is one of several he modeled on the Greco-Roman Venus Accroupie profile which had already served for the gold dollar and double eagle, and, from 1854 to 1889, this $3 gold piece. The feathered headdress is supposed to emphasize "national character."
Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.
