Description
Delightful 1857 Three Dollar, Mint State
1857 $3 MS60 NGC. The 1857 has a mintage of only 20,891 pieces. Bowers (2005) states that most saw extensive circulation and the issue is now scarce in Mint State. Charming yellow-gold patina graces the surfaces, which exhibit bright, frosty luster throughout. The reverse is especially radiant, and shows horizontal die polish lines (as made) across the field, which explains why it is so lustrous. The strike is soft on the hair, as usual, but overall the details are sharply defined. Planchet striations are present on the obverse, and a number of abrasions in the fields limit the grade. Nonetheless, this is a better example than most.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MA, PCGS# 7976, GSID# 8630)
