Description
Appealing Select 1856 Three Dollar Gold
1856 $3 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Although the pre-Civil War mintage of the 1856 three dollar gold was a generous (for the series) 26,010 coins, today Bowers estimates that only 90 to 120 Mint State coins survive, and perhaps 550 to 700 circulated examples. While those figures may be a trifle low, we would be surprised if more than 175 Mint State coins exist. This Select Mint State coin boasts pleasingly smooth orange-gold surfaces. A loupe reveals some light clash marks in the obverse field, along with a few wispy hairlines and minor contact on the cheek. On the reverse a bold strike appears (save for the bowknot), with few abrasions. Both sides offer generous eye appeal. Population: 28 in 63, 36 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25M8, PCGS# 7974, GSID# 8629)
