- 1855 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-61 (PCGS). This attractive example offers above average preservation for this underrated issue. Both sides are lustrous, generally frosty in texture, but with faint traces of semi-reflectivity in the fields. Vivid deep gold color and razor sharp striking detail are sure to please. 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 coinage at the Philadelphia Mint that year dropped to 50,555 pieces, 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 pleasing Uncirculated example is sure to appeal to astute bidders. PCGS# 7972. NGC ID: 25M6.
