1854-O Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-55 (NGC).A predominantly medium gold example with glints of more vivid pinkish-rose iridescence outlining many of the devices, especially those on the reverse. The date is a bit soft, but all other features are fully appreciable and the O mintmark is bold. The sole New Orleans Mint contribution to this series and a key date issue with just 24,000 pieces produced, the 1854-O three is a strong performer in all grades.From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio.
