Design
Obverse
The obverse (heads) design is a faithful rendition of the first dollar coin struck by the U.S. Federal Government. The portrait of Liberty faces right and is surrounded by 15 stars, representing the fifteen states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. The design retains the “LIBERTY” inscription and includes an updated “2024” date. The denomination is incused on the edge as “HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT.”
Reverse
The reverse (tail) design stays true to the 1794 original, depicting a laurel wreath surrounding an eagle with spread wings in the center, an early predecessor of the American heraldic eagle. The inscription is “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
About this coin’s value
The 1 Dollar (Flowing Hair) contains 0.9999 troy ounces of gold (100.0% fine, 31.1035 g gross). Its melt value above is that metal content multiplied by the live spot price — the floor any dealer offer should be judged against. Collector value for better dates, mint marks and grades comes on top of melt, so check before selling scarce coins as bullion.
To value a whole stack at once, use the US Gold Coin Calculator. The formula behind the number is explained in our pre-1933 US gold guide, and where to sell covers what buyers actually pay against melt.
