Description: π±π· 1851 π±π· $ πͺπ° $ πͺπ° $ $1 LIBERTY HEAD GOLD DOLLAR TYPE 1 CIVIL WAR ERA GOLD (.6 GRAMS of AU) πͺ (MINTAGE = 3,658,820) β Liberty Head Gold Dollars, Designed By James B. Longacre, Are The Smallest Coin That The U.S. Mint Has Ever Produced. In fact, They Measure Just 13 Millimeters In Diameter Compare That To A Modern U.S. Dime, Which Has A Diameter Of 17.9 Millimeters! Whatβs More, A $1 gold Coin Weighs In At A Mere 1.672 Grams β Less Than A Penny, Which Has Just 1/100th The Face Value. β While These Tiny Dollar Coins May Actually Be Worth More Than Their Weight In Gold (The Bullion Value For These Coins Is Quite Small, And These Coins Are Valued Higher Due To Their Numismatic Worth), They Can Be Had More Cheaply Than Some Of The Larger Gold Coins Of A Newer Vintage. Liberty Head Dollars Are Extremely Popular And Widely Sought-After American Coins. π±π· The First Dollar Coin Used In The United States Was Minted In Gold In 1849! π±π· π±π· The Liberty Head Gold Dollars Are Very Small, Only 13 Millimeters Wide, And Are Some Of The Smallest Coins Made For Circulation In The U.S. ! ! ! ! π±π· β Overall, The Liberty Head Dollars Are Hard To Find Today, With Only A Few Hundred Surviving Coins Available From The Scarcer Issues. πͺ Pre-33 Gold Refers To Gold Coins Minted In The United States Prior To 1933, When President Franklin D. Roosevelt Issued Executive Order 6102. The Order Made It Illegal For U.S. Citizens To Own Gold Bullion. As A Result, The United States Mint Halted Production Of Gold Coins Intended For Public Circulation. π±π· The Ban On Gold Ownership Lasted Until December 31,1974, When President Gerald Ford Signed Legislation Allowing Americans To Again Buy, Sell, And Own Gold Coins And Bullion. π±π· HISTORICAL NOTE 1851: 1) The Treaty Of Traverse Des Sioux Is Signed With The Sioux Indians. They Agree To Give Up Their Lands In Iowa And Almost All Of Minnesota. 2) Debate On The Future Of Slavery In The Territories Escalates β¦ 3) The Great Flood Of 1851 Causes Extensive Damage In The Midwest; The Town Of Des Moines Is Virtually Destroyed! 4) The Flip Of A Coin (Maybe This Coin?) Determines Whether A New City In The Oregon Territory Is Named After Boston, Massachusetts, Or Portland, Maine, With Portland Winning! β $πͺ While This Original Silver Coin May Bear Subtle Signs Of Circulation, It Remarkably Preserves Its Original Mint Luster And Intricate Design Details, Making It A Prized Asset For Any Collection! π±π· ππ "COIN SHOWN IN PICTURES IS THE ACTUAL COIN YOU WILL RECIEVE !" π±π·
