Description
1865 Three Dollar Gold, AU55
Popular Low-Mintage Issue
1865 $3 AU55 PCGS. Ex: D.L. Hansen Collection. The 1865 is
one of the most challenging issues in the three dollar series with
an emission of just 1,140 pieces. Bowers and Winter (2005) estimate
that only 100 examples have survived in all grades, with just 12 to
15 pieces known in Uncirculated grades. That significantly revises
the long-accepted estimate by Akers (1979), who wrote that he had
seen only "two full Mint State pieces." The high grade rarity of
this issue is significant, and it is more elusive in mint condition
than some of the later, lower mintage, issues such as the 1881 and
1885. This impressive Choice AU specimen exhibits just a touch of
wear on the strongly impressed design elements and the lightly
abraded orange-gold surfaces retain traces of original mint luster
in sheltered areas. Population: 15 in 55, 32 finer
