Lot 1330
1860-S $3 Gold. PCGS graded AU-53. During 1860, San Francisco experienced some production problems and many of the Three Dollar gold pieces struck were light in weight. It was later decided to melt them down, thus reducing the net number coined to 4,408. The surfaces of this coin are prooflike but do show moderate lines from brief circulation. Further, someone has scratched off something between the IC of AMERICA, but this is minor. This is a fully struck example of this rare date and should find a welcome place in an advanced collection.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500.
