Semiprooflike 1869 Three Dollar, Choice AU

1869 $3 AU55 NGC. Bowers estimates a survival rate of perhaps 10% of the mintage of only 2,500 1869 three dollar gold pieces, but quality is a problem, and few Mint State coins survive. This Choice AU coin displays attractive yellow-gold surfaces that are expectedly semiprooflike given the small mintage. A few scattered abrasions are consistent with the grade, but the only singular marks are a couple of ticks on Liberty's cheek near the mouth. Census: 36 in 55, 66 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N1793)
