Liberty Gold Set 1838 - 1907 The first coins in this historic series were minted before
the Civil War, back in 1838. While there are many ways to collect U.S. gold
coins, most collectors and investors begin building sets with the $20
denomination. Later, they add the smaller gold coins in the series as funds
permit. |

Rare $1 Gold Coinage The U.S. Mint struck the first $1 (Type I) gold pieces from
1849 through 1854 during the California Gold Rush Days. These were minted at
Philadelphia and the Pre-Civil War Southern Mints of New Orleans, Charlotte,
and Dahlonega. From 1854 to 1856, the "Small Head" Type II Indian design was
introduced. Finally, the Type III version with a larger head was minted from
1856 through 1889 at the Philadelphia Mint. |
