Description

1857-S Three Dollar, AU53
Better Old West Issue

1857-S $3 AU53 NGC. The 1857-S has less than half the mintage of its 1856-S predecessor. According to the 2024 Guide Book, 14,000 pieces were struck. PCGS Coin Facts states a slightly higher production, 14,250 pieces. In either event, few were set aside, and AU examples are elusive. The present coin displays luster within the legends, though wear is noticeable on the wreath and portrait. No marks are consequential. Census: 31 in 53, 41 finer (5/23).(Registry values: N2998)
