1856 Three Dollar, Attractive MS62
Green-Gold Surfaces, Orange Accents

1856 $3 MS62 PCGS. The mintage of the third-year 1856 three dollar gold issue was a moderate 26,010 pieces, a production that would be low for most series but is generous here. More examples were apparently saved in Mint State than during the bloody Civil War years that would follow. This MS62 PCGS-graded example offers sharply struck green-gold surfaces with good luster and attractive orange highlights. A few scattered marks account for the grade, but the eye appeal is top-notch. Population: 55 in 62 (1 in 62+), 75 finer (1/17).
