1862 Three Dollar, AU Details
Scarce Civil War-Era Piece

1862 $3 -- Altered Surfaces -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. The 1862 issue produced just 5,750 pieces and today is a conditional rarity in high-end grades with only 49 Mint State pieces reported at PCGS (7/25). This AU-level three dollar has a bright wheat-gold patina. Well-struck, it shows softness on the central devices but has good detail on the outer legends and wreaths. Heavy die striations running vertically are present and are typical of the issue (as struck). A thorough cleaning has left a shiny, granular finish and the abrasions consistent with AU examples appear smoothed or polished, all which contributed to the Altered Surfaces designation from PCGS. Even so, it is an attractive gold piece and with limited Mint State availability, AU-level pieces are desirable alternatives.
