1854-O Three-Dollar Gold Piece. Winter-1. AU-55 (ICG).
The New Orleans Mint issued three dollar gold pieces only in 1854, the first year this odd-denomination gold coin was struck. In all, 24,000 examples fell from the dies, and most went into circulation. Typically seen in VF and EF grades, AU examples are truly scarce and Choice AU pieces are rare. Semi-reflective luster clings to the protected areas and highlights a greenish-gold patina. Light friction can be seen accounting for the grade, but this well struck example has a great visual impact overall and will delight any collector of branch mint gold or $3 gold pieces.
