Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1860-S $3 AU58 PCGS. The low-mintage 1860-S three dollar gold issue, struck to the extent of only 7,000 coins, is the rarest of the four early S-mint emissions in the series (also including the 1855-S, 1856-S, and 1857-S). Most examples of the 1860-S survive only in well-circulated condition, usually VF to XF. The present near-Mint State example is, needless to say, far finer, and the nicest piece we have offered recently. Deep luster complements beautiful reddish-orange color with glints of lilac and lighter yellow-gold around the letter edges on the obverse. Population: 12 in 58, 4 finer (11/16).
