1854 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-64 (PCGS).
A lustrous and well struck example with enhancing blushes of apricot iridescence to a base of light golden-wheat color. The 1854 is the premier Philadelphia Mint issue in the three-dollar gold series, making it extremely popular with today's type collectors. Enough examples were saved that the 1854 vies with the 1874 and 1878 as the most readily obtainable issue of this denomination in Mint State. The 1854 is much rarer than the 1878, however, and with the three-dollar gold piece as a series scarce in Mint State this fully Choice example represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute numismatist.
