Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1856-S $3 AU58 NGC. Breen-6356. Small S. Despite a mintage of 34,500 pieces, two mintmark sizes are known for the '56-S. The Small S is scarcer than the Medium S variety. This lightly circulated straw-gold example displays luster throughout the legends. Marks are relegated to Liberty's cheekbone and the field near the left ribbon end. Census: 69 in 58 (1 in 58+), 25 finer (10/16).
