Lustrous 1855 Select Three Dollar

1855 $3 MS63 PCGS. The demand for three dollar gold pieces apparently declined in 1855, as the mintage from the Philadelphia Mint dropped from more than 138,000 pieces in 1854 to 50,555 coins. Variegated peach-gold and mint-green patina resides on the lustrous surfaces of this Select specimen. Sharply struck except for minor softness on the bow knot. Minute handling marks limit the grade. Population: 52 in 63, 23 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
