1861. PCGS graded AU-53. A problem free example for the grade with natural rose-gold toning about the borders. A total of 5,959 minted. Except for the dates 1854, 1874, and 1878, most $3 gold pieces are quite scarce due to low mintage, heavy wear, and early retirement (pursuant to the Act of 1890). It has been reported that even as late as the 1920s and early 1930s, these were being withdrawn from the banking system as they came across the counters. 1861 has long been known to be a scarce one in choice, attractive AU condition, as offered here (PCGS # 7982) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300.

 
Realized $3,105
