Description
Elusive Near-Mint 1854-O Three Dollar
Only O-Mint in the Series
1854-O $3 AU58 NGC. The only O-mint three dollar gold, the
1854-O joins the 1854-D as the only branch mint coins from those
two facilities. San Francisco would join the fray--and then only
intermittently--in the following year, 1855. While the mintage of
the 1854-O is 20 times that of the 1854-D--24,000 pieces compared
to 1,120--the 1854-O is nonetheless elusive in higher grades. This
near-Mint State piece shows just a minor touch of rub on the
highest points, with medium yellow-gold surfaces and a few light
scuffs consistent with a short spate in circulation. The reverse
displays some clash marks from the obverse, and a small dotlike
indent in the left reverse field, near the rim, appears to be a
mint-made planchet flaw. NGC has certified only 18 pieces finer
(8/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25M5, PCGS# 7971, GSID# 8662)
