Description
Near-Mint 1854-O Three Dollar Gold
Only O-Mint Issue, Popular Type Coin
1854-O $3 AU58 PCGS. The only three dollar gold piece struck
at the New Orleans Mint, the 1854-O boasts a low mintage of 24,000
pieces. The issue is available in lower circulated grades but quite
rare in AU58. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of
400-500 pieces in all grades, with 48-56 examples extant in AU. The
present coin is an attractive near-Mint specimen, showing only the
slightest hints of friction on the hair and headdress feathers. The
rich, green-gold surfaces retain much original mint luster and show
few abrasions for the grade. The striking details are typical of
this issue, with some weakness evident on the central reverse
devices, but strong at the peripheries. Population: 18 in 58, 2
finer (6/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25M5, PCGS# 7971, GSID# 8662)
