1869 Gold Three Dollar ($3)

Rich, original yellow-gold with subtle orange highlights blankets this AU example of a simply rare date. The coins shows appreciable satiny luster in the recesses and around the legends and the devices are crisp for the grade, with pleasing frost against warm, even color that reads all natural. Surfaces are notably choice for an AU55, with only a touch of friction in the open fields keeping it from the next step. Excellent eye appeal in a fresh, fully problem-free look, housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.
