1860 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. Unc Details--Scratch (PCGS).Attractive deep gold patina blankets surfaces that are problem free save for the presence of an unfortunate scratch in the right obverse field. Sharply struck and highly lustrous, this is a more affordable, yet still relatively pleasing Mint State survivor from a mintage of just 7,036 circulation strikes. The 1860 is elusive in all grades with fewer than 500 coins believed extant, most of which are worn from having seen circulation on the West Coast during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras.From the Newmark Collection.
