Lot 820
1855-S $3 Gold. PCGS graded EF-40. Here is one of the early "tough" dates of three dollar gold pieces. Only 6,600 were struck, many of which were made after the single pair of dies used had clashed. Not so here, this is an early die state, and because of this, all the devices are sharply defined. The color ranges from the usual greenish-gold to a pure gold color, which is further enhanced by the traces of luster. Minor handling marks, as expected for the grade, but an excellent eye appealing coin that will enhance a high grade date collection. Housed in the old style PCGS holder, and held off the market in a specialized date collection for many years.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600.
