1868 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH. Warm honey and olive-orange colors with razor sharp striking detail overall. Like so many of its counterparts in the challenging three-dollar gold series, the circulation strike 1868 has a low mintage (4,850 coins produced) and survivors are scarce to rare in all grades. PCGS# 7989. NGC ID: 25MP.
