Wonderful 1854 Three Dollar, MS64

1854 $3 MS64 PCGS. While the 1854 issue is considered ideal for a type set, because of its relatively large mintage and first-year status within the series, few pieces have the generous eye appeal of the present piece. Deep reddish-gold patina graces each side, with wonderful luster emanating from the surfaces. The strike is boldly executed, even on the often-weak bowknot, and neither side reveals much in the way of ticks or abrasions, even under a loupe. The 1854 is lumped together with the 1874 and 1878 issues for "type" purposes, even though with the small ONE DOLLAR denomination it is technically a one-year subtype. Despite the "large" emission, PCGS has certified only 25 pieces in finer grades (1/08).(Registry values: N4719)
