Attractive 1854-O Three Dollar Gold, AU53
The Only New Orleans Three Dollar Coin
1854-O $3 AU53 PCGS. The original mintage of the 1854-O
three dollar gold piece was on the order of 24,000 pieces. The year
was the first for the denomination, and the only year in which
three dollar coins were struck at the New Orleans Mint. Q. David
Bowers estimates 400-500 specimens are extant today in all grades,
with most examples seen in lower circulated levels. The present
coin is well struck, with the usual weakness on the central
reverse. Only minimal wear shows on the hair and plumes. A few
shallow abrasions are consistent with the grade. Population: 45 in
53, 54 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25M5, PCGS# 7971, GSID# 8662)
