Description
1867 Three Dollar in Nickel
Judd-597, PR58
1867 $3 Three Dollar, Judd-597, Pollock-661, R.8, PR58 NGC.
The regular issue design for the 1867 three dollar gold piece.
Struck in nickel with a reeded edge. At least three examples of
this pattern variety are known. What is not known are the
circumstances surrounding the issue of these pieces. They are
alleged to be off-metal dies trial strikings, but more likely is
the profit motive. They were probably struck a few years later for
sale to collectors. Examples are also known in copper and silver,
thus the possibility that three-piece sets of these patterns were
sold by the Mint. Alternatively, Saul Teichman (USPatterns.com)
suggests that they might be mint errors, struck on planchets
intended for Shield nickels. Both denominations have exactly the
same diameter, so his theory is certainly possible. The surfaces of
this piece are bright with pale color. A distinctive planchet void
is seen to the left of the 3 as a reliable pedigree identifier.
