Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1865 $3 -- Smoothed -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. The 1865 three dollar gold piece boasts a small 1,140-coin mintage and was issued long before this denomination was heavily saved by dealers and collectors. Surviving examples are scarce in all grades and genuinely rare in Mint State. This is a sharp AU-level example with rich orange-gold coloration. Faint but numerous hairlines are evidence of careful smoothing of the fields, which give the coin a clean appearance despite the coin not receiving a numeric grade.
