Description
1861 Three Dollar, AU50
Old-Time Patina
1861 $3 AU50 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint struck just shy of
6,000 three dollar gold pieces in 1861. The date is usually
available today, although many examples are cleaned or otherwise
impaired, and collectors seeking a coin with old-time patina will
have a challenge. This AU coin is such a piece, showing deep
orange-gold and olive surfaces with light wear. Remnants of luster
remain in the most protected areas.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MG, PCGS# 7982, Greysheet# 8634)
Weight: 5.02 grams
