- Elusive Mint State 1860 Three-Dollar Gold 1860 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-62 (PCGS). Lustrous and vivid surfaces offer superior eye appeal for the assigned grade. The finish is predominantly satiny, albeit with semi-reflective qualities evident in the fields. Bathed in lovely orange-gold color, crisp striking detail and a very smooth appearance confirm this coin as one of the nicest MS-62s obtainable for this low mintage issue. The Philadelphia Mint delivered 7,036 three-dollar gold coins for commercial use in 1860, many of which were likely melted after Northern banks suspended gold specie payments in December 1861. Several hundred circulated survivors are known, however, that almost certainly saw commercial use on the West Coast, where gold remained in circulation throughout the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. Uncirculated examples are far rarer, most surviving as a matter of chance. Perhaps fewer than 150 examples of the date can be called Mint State today, most in Mint State-60 to 62, as here, but seldom as nice as the offered example. Provenance: From the Huberman Collection. Earlier ex our (American Numismatic Rarities') Richard Jewell Collection sale, March 2005, lot 622. PCGS# 7980. NGC ID: 25ME. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
