The smallish Liberty Head Type 1 Gold Dollar was minted from 1849-1854. Some of them are fairly common and easy to obtain. Some are quite rare and costly.

This page features a coin price guide listing to approximate numismatic coin values in today’s marketplace, date by date, for the entire group of Type 1 Gold Dollars.

To look up your gold dollar coin value, go down the left column of the price guide until you get to the correct date and mint mark, then move over to the right until arriving at the proper grade column.
