Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 374010)
The unique set of 1872 “Amazonian” pattern coins in gold is one of the most celebrated rarities in the entire series of U.S. coins. This spectacular set is unique in many ways: (1) it is the only set of its kind ever made, (2) it is the only set of gold patterns ever produced with a common design theme, and (3) the $3 gold piece in the set is the only pattern of this denomination ever to have been struck in gold!
Obverse: The obverse of the coins feature a head of Liberty wearing a liberty cap bound by a band with the word “LIBERTY” written upon it. The head is surrounded by 13 stars; the date “1872” is below the bust. This head is an enlarged version of that used on Barber’s Amazonian pattern quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars, thus the appellation was applied to the gold patterns, as well.
Reverse: Barber’s Standing Eagle with talons holding shield. Similar to the silver Amazonian issues. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA / ONE DOL. around border.

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
