- 1855 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.
Charming medium gold surfaces are further enhanced by wisps of pale rose iridescence that are most pronounced around the peripheries. Luster is full and frosty, the devices boldly to sharply struck. By 1855, only the second year of production for this curious gold denomination, the unpopularity of the three-dollar gold piece in commercial channels had already become evident. As such, circulation strike production at the Philadelphia Mint that year dropped to 50,555 coins, as opposed to 138,618 coins struck in that facility the year before. The 1855 is still a relatively obtainable issue in an absolute sense, making it a popular coin for type purposes. It is still much rarer than the first year 1854 in Mint State, to say nothing of the 1874 and 1878. One of the finer certified survivors, this is an impressive coin that will appeal to discerning bidders.
Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, January 19, 1979.
PCGS# 7972. NGC ID: 25M6.
