Description
1860 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (CACG).
Sharply defined detail that possesses near complete luster and original orange-gold color. A wholesome circulated example with slight rub on the high points and no distracting blemishes to note. Truly choice for the grade, and sure to command a hefty premium. Survivors from a limited mintage of 7,036 circulation strikes number only a few hundred coins, which estimate confirms the 1860 as a scarce three-dollar gold issue. Most extant examples are worn, likely from circulation on the West Coast since gold coins disappeared from commerce in the East and Midwest early in the Civil War. Given the rarity of Mint State survivors, this lovely AU-58 represents the finest in quality that is realistically obtainable for most of today's advanced gold enthusiasts.
PCGS# 7980. NGC ID: 25ME.
