Description
Difficult 1859 Three Dollar MS61
1859 $3 MS61 NGC. By 1859, it was clear that there was little demand for the three dollar denomination in commerce. No Southern branch mint issues had been coined since the year of its introduction, 1854. Mintages at Philadelphia dropped annually through 1858, perking up somewhat to 15,558 pieces in 1859. Certified survivors are clustered in AU grades, but the present MS61 example has attractive surfaces and a good strike. The peak of the 1 in the date is repunched.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MD, PCGS# 7979, GSID# 8632)
