1862 Three Dollar Gold, MS61
Elusive, Low-Mintage Issue

1862 $3 MS61 PCGS. The 1862 three dollar gold piece claims a mintage of just 5,750 pieces, making the issue scarce-to-rare in all grades today. This pleasing Mint State example exhibits well-detailed design elements and lustrous surfaces with the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. A long, thin scrape in the left obverse field is the only individually significant flaw. Faint vertical planchet striations show in the fields on both sides and some faint clash marks are evident on the reverse. Population: 7 in 61, 38 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MH, PCGS# 7983, Greysheet# 8635)

Weight: 5.02 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
