1864 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU Details--Altered Surfaces (PCGS).Warm olive undertones and dominant medium gold patina provide relatively strong eye appeal despite a curiously subdued texture that explains the PCGS qualifier. Boldly defined throughout, this is a more affordable example of the elusive and conditionally challenging 1864 three-dollar gold piece. From a circulation strike mintage of just 2,630 pieces, survivors of which are thought to number only 200 to 250 coins in all grades. With Mint State pieces seldom offered, this About Uncirculated survivor -- scarce in its own right -- is sure to find many willing buyers in todays highly competitive market.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
