1874 G$1

Description

1874 Gold Dollar, NGC MS-64. This 1874 Gold Dollar represents a classic example of the Type III gold dollar coinage, the final design type produced before the denomination's discontinuation in 1889. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint without a mint mark, this piece exhibits the characteristic features of the period, including Liberty's profile on the obverse and an eagle wreath reverse design. Graded MS-64 by NGC (Certificate #4275224001), this specimen displays attractive luster and eye appeal consistent with the assigned grade. The coin shows well-preserved details across both sides, with only minor surface marks typical of Mint State examples from this era. Gold dollars of the 1870s remain popular with collectors seeking affordable entry points into pre-1933 United States gold coinage. The 1874 date falls within a period of moderate mintage for the type, making this certified example a solid addition to any gold dollar collection or type set. The NGC MS-64 designation provides authentication and grade assurance for this nineteenth-century gold piece.
