Conditionally Scarce Near-Gem 1855 Three Dollar Gold

1855 $3 MS64 NGC. Although minted in generous numbers in comparison to its Three Dollar counterparts, it appears that only a small quantity of this second year issue were set aside at the time of striking. Of the Mint State pieces extant, the vast majority are of average quality at best. This well struck example appears to have been produced from an early state of the dies, being noticeably striated on both obverse and reverse. Delicate coppery-orange patina clings to the obverse lettering, an assurance of originality on this uncommonly well preserved 1855. One identifying mark is seen under the 1 of the date. Population: 18 in 64, 2 finer (10/04).(#7972) (Registry values: N4719)
