Description
1854-O Three Dollar, AU58
Sole New Orleans Issue in the Series
1854-O $3 AU58 NGC. Winter 1. The surprisingly elusive early
die state of the single 1854-O die pair, showing no lapping on the
ribbon ends. This New Orleans issue comes from a mintage of 24,000
pieces. In the context of the series, that is a fairly substantial
production total, but the vast majority of these coins entered
circulated and did not survive the economic changes of the Civil
War in the South. Today, it is scarce in high AU grades and rare in
Mint State, and collector demand is high due to this being the only
New Orleans issue in the series.The present example displays some field reflectivity throughout, with brass-gold patina and well-defined devices that show only light wear. Scattered minor abrasions are not bothersome for the grade. NGC has graded 25 numerically finer examples (10/25).(Registry values: N2998)
