The 1878 Indian Princess three-dollar gold piece represents one of the most appealing gold designs in United States coinage. Created by James B. Longacre, the obverse features Liberty wearing a feathered headdress, a motif that gives the denomination its distinctive character and lasting popularity among collectors.
Although the three-dollar denomination never circulated widely, the 1878 issue has long been favored by numismatists. Its combination of attractive design and solid availability in Mint State makes it a natural choice for collectors assembling a Type Set. The date is particularly admired for its sharp strikes and pleasing luster.
Examples certified at the Gem level are desirable but obtainable compared with many earlier issues in the series. NGC has graded 145 pieces as MS-65, with 82 finer, confirming that while collectible in high grade, truly exceptional examples remain a smaller portion of the surviving population.
