Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1861 $3 AU55 NGC. The 1861 is a popular early issue in the three dollar series, and it is one that is occasionally available in AU condition. Only 5,959 pieces were struck, and the entire mintage was struck from a single die pairing (although three die pairs were available in case a larger mintage was needed). Faint glimmers of initial die polish can still be seen in the fields. Each side is moderately abraded and the strike details are well brought up overall.
