Philadelphia delivered 3,930 gold dollars in 1871, continuing the depressed production levels of the postwar years. Gold remained at a premium, and the gold dollar maintained its marginal existence as a denomination produced for financial utility. The 3,930-coin mintage placed 1871 among the lower outputs in the series.
PCGS estimates roughly 50 to 75 survive across all grades. The typical example grades Fine to Extremely Fine. Uncirculated coins are uncommon and carry premiums reflecting the thin supply. The 1871 requires the same patient searching as its neighboring dates in the low-mintage postwar run.
