Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1854 $3 MS62 NGC. The 1854 is the first issue for the three dollar gold denomination, and the production of 138,618 pieces marked the only instance in the series where the annual mintage exceeded 100,000 coins. This example is sharply struck and features clean green-gold surfaces and rich luster. A few light hairline scratches are consistent with the grade. In high demand as a type issue.
