Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1856 $3 MS61 NGC. A lustrous example of this somewhat better date, which is much less often encountered in Mint State than the 1878, 1874, 1854, and 1855 issues. Liberty's hair, the U in UNITED, and the wreath bow are not fully struck, but the remainder of the design is bold. A curly pinscratch in the obverse exergue prevents a better grade.
Ex: Portland Signature (Heritage, 3/2004), lot 6152; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2008), lot 2417.
