Description
Bold Near-Gem 1854 Three Dollar
1854 $3 MS64 NGC. The 1854 three dollar is the optimal type coin, due both to its generous mintage and also to its status as a first-year type coin (not to mention its technical status as a one-year subtype with small letters in the denomination). Few examples achieve the technical perfection and aesthetic beauty of the present near-Gem, however. This piece offers bold burnt-orange and khaki-gold coloration alternating, with a good strike and strong luster. A small patch of hair-thin marks is noted in the left obverse field, only under a loupe. NGC has certified only 18 examples in finer grade (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25M3, PCGS# 7969, GSID# 8627)
