Description

1856-S Three Dollar, AU53
Popular Branch Issue

1856-S $3 AU53 NGC. Medium S. The 1856-S is the only three-dollar issue with two different mintmark sizes. Most examples are the Medium S variety, sometimes called the Large S. The present coin has a small die break below the second L in DOLLARS, reminiscent of the "Donkey Tail" VAM-1A 1887 Morgan dollar. Wear is evident on Liberty's hair, but the tan-gold surfaces show minimal blemishes, and luster emerges from design recesses.(Registry values: N1793)
