Description
Splendid 1854-O Three Dollar, AU53
1854-O $3 AU53 NGC. CAC. The 1854-O is another three dollar piece that is usually seen heavily worn, and its mintage of 24,000 pieces does not reflect the low number of survivors in About Uncirculated and Mint State grades. Attractive olive-gold patina covers the surfaces of this conditionally scarce specimen. Lots of luster is still present in the protected areas of the obverse and throughout the reverse. A few minor abrasions are noted on each side, but none merit individual mention. This piece was struck after the dies were relapped, which has resulted in a loss of definition that is particularly evident on the letters and the ribbon. The hair is softly struck, as typically seen. An interesting example for the specialist.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25M5, PCGS# 7971, GSID# 8662)
