New 1859 $3 Gold Indian Princess for my gold type set. It has nice fields, decent strike (a bit weak on the headdress detail), a bit of remaining luster, and lower mintage than some other dates.
Here's a bit of history presumed to be correct; Longacre modeled the $3 Indian Princess Gold coin after a Crouching Venus statue (Venus Accroupie) at the time in a Philly museum. This representation is an early Greco Roman representation of the Pagan goddess Venus. Great looking coin.
Overall I like it and am happy to add it to my evolving type set. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.
