Delightful MS64 1856 Three Dollar

1856 $3 MS64 PCGS. Circulated 1856 three dollar gold pieces are generally accessible, including high-end About Uncirculated pieces. Uncirculated examples become difficult to locate, especially at the Select and better levels. Indeed, near-Gems are the finest grade collectors are likely to encounter.
The greenish-gold surfaces of this MS64 piece exhibit pleasing luster emanating from a satinlike finish, and a relatively strong impression characterizes the design elements, except for weakness in the bowknot. Occasional minute obverse marks account for the grade. PCGS has certified just three finer examples (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
