Description
Choice XF 1854-D Three Dollar
Odd-Denomination Dahlonega Gold
1854-D $3 XF45 ANACS. Odd denominations and Dahlonega gold
intersect at this famous three dollar issue, struck in the initial
year for the denomination and the first and last of its kind. With
just 1,120 pieces struck, it stands to reason that demand far
exceeds the available supply, though the size of that supply is
open to debate; Q. David Bowers, in The United States $3 Gold
Pieces, compared the question of how many 1854-D three dollar
coins exist with the classic, "How many angels can dance on the
head of a pin?"What is known is that the 1854-D issue is decidedly scarce, with high demand regardless of condition. This Choice XF coin is pleasing for the grade with glimpses of original luster remaining in the protected areas. Yellow-orange surfaces are minimally abraded with a few small instances of encrustation and alloy.(Registry values: N4719)
