Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1854-O $3 XF40 NGC. Variety 2. The two varieties of 1854-O three dollar gold pieces are more properly die states of a single die pair. Variety 2 shows evidence of lapping at the lower reverse with disconnected ribbon bows. Scattered marks on the straw-gold surfaces are expected for the grade. While production continued in later years in Philadelphia and San Francisco, the three dollar gold denomination was produced solely in 1854 at the New Orleans and Dahlonega Mints with the coinage of 24,000 pieces in Louisiana and 1,120 pieces in Georgia.
