Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1854-O $3 AU55 NGC. Variety 2. The lapped variety with attenuated details on the wreath ribbon. The 1854-O is the only New Orleans issue of the denomination, and is requisite for a type set from the Southern facility. This lightly circulated apricot-gold example has occasional small strike-throughs, as made and usual for the issue. Abrasions are few, although bright marks near the left ribbon end and the AM in AMERICA are worthy of passing mention.
