Gold, 1855 Three Dollar Piece

1855 Three Dollar Gold Piece

By James B. Longacre, Chief Engraver. Over half a million minted 1854-1889, in 2 varieties, mostly in Philadelphia but also in San Francisco, New Orleans and Dahlonega. Never popular, all today are rare. An 1855 S sold in 2011 for over a million dollars but the single surviving 1870 S would likely command even more if put up for sale. Tap center for reverse, large DOLLAR variety, 6 oclock for text.
