Lot 1427
1855 $3 Gold. NGC graded MS-61. Naturally toned with a mint caused tar streak behind Liberty. A satiny Mint State of the most advantageous order for a collector since it is not well known that the 1855 issue is much scarcer than the higher-production 1854. Its subdued but still broad-spinning luster gives a pleasing effect beneath the original mellow golden highlights. Nicely struck, too, with just a small amount of weakness at the usual Achilles' heel for the $3 gold, that being the ribbon bow at the bottom of the wreath (PCGS # 7972) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
