- 1855 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-60 (PCGS). OGH. This attractive example offers superior quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade. Both sides are lustrous with a soft, satiny finish from the dies. Vivid deep golden-orange color with a tinge of pale silver-olive, razor sharp striking detail is also sure to please. Wispy hairlines and some muting to the luster are noted, but the in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth. By 1855, only the second year of production for this curious gold denomination, the three-dollar gold piece was not popular in commerce. 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 by the standards of the series, and it is 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. This attractive Uncirculated example is sure to appeal to astute bidders. PCGS# 7972. NGC ID: 25M6.
