Lot 2218
1858 $3 Gold. NCS graded Details of AU-50. Scratched but not objectionably so. Warm orange-gold patina. The 1858 $3 gold piece has long been on the wish list of advanced collectors. Rare in all grades, the mintage was 2,133 pieces. Due to normal attrition, few are left in collections (unlike some of the later low-mintage dates which were hoarded at the time of issue). There was no hoarding going on in pre-War America (PCGS # 7978) .
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
