1854 Gold Three Dollar ($3)

Original yellow-orange gold with a soft satiny glow that lights up the protected areas - exactly the honest, problem-free AU look we like to see. Even wear, strong rims, and pleasing, undisturbed surfaces that remain notably clean for the level; a few scattered reverse field ticks keep it out of a higher bracket. Nice eye appeal, CAC-approved, and housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.
