Scarce Near-Mint 1854-O Three Dollar Gold

1854-O $3 AU58 PCGS. The 1854-O issue of three dollar gold is the only instance of this denomination being produced at the New Orleans Mint. This lightly circulated example displays essentially unabraded surfaces and satiny luster in the protected areas. Portions of the wreath ribbon are absent, as made from a lapped die. Modest highpoint wear is noted on Liberty's hair, between the ear and the crown. Faint hairlines are noted in the fields; mostly on the obverse. This piece appears to be from a later state of the dies, corresponding to what Winter refers to as his Variety Two. A highly attractive example that should stir considerable interest among three dollar gold and New Orleans Mint specialists. Population: 16 in 58, 2 finer (12/07). (Registry values: N2998)
