1856-S Three Dollar ($3)

Warm antique-gold surfaces with soft orange highlights and a pleasing, even skin give this AU example strong eye appeal. Luster peeks through in the recesses, especially around the legend and within the wreath, while the high points show honest, balanced friction. The fields are notably smooth for the level. Strike is respectable for the issue, and the S mintmark stands up bold. Housed in a clean NGC holder and ready to slot into a quality gold set.
