Lot 1868
1855 $3 Gold. NGC graded MS-63. Fully struck and quite lustrous. Pale yellow gold. Nice light-gold luster reverberates off the fields of both sides. It is easy to see this piece was delivered a full, sharp blow by the dies in the hair and feathers as well as on Longacre's first "wreath of cereals" as it is called. 50,555 minted. Pop 31; 22 finer.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
