- 1864 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (PCGS).
A predominantly reddish-gold example with blushes of pale lilac flashing into view as the surfaces dip into a light. Ample remaining luster and overall boldly defined features confirm the desirable near-Mint grade from PCGS. The year 1864 saw some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War as the conflict moved toward its conclusion. In the Eastern Theater, General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign of May and June resulted in a Union victory as Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia was forced into the sieges of Richmond and Petersburg. The Western Theater during 1864 was dominated by General William Tecumseh Sherman's victorious Atlanta Campaign from May to September and his subsequent Savannah Campaign (a.k.a. Sherman's March to the Sea) in November and December. In the Philadelphia Mint it was business as usual as far as gold coinage was concerned: little bullion was on hand with circulation strike mintages correspondingly limited. The 1864 three-dollar gold piece was produced to extent of just 2,630 pieces, and it is one of the rarest issues of its type from the Civil War era.
PCGS# 7985. NGC ID: 25MK.
