Description du lot

Key Date 1854-D Three-Dollar Gold Piece 1854-D Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-53 (PCGS). Warm yellow-gold tone features faint pinkish hues in the protected areas of this desirable rarity. The surfaces are smooth and considerably lustrous, with just a few trivial marks noted at Liberty's jaw. Well struck for the issue with strong central sharpness and the typical weakness at the borders. Just 4 Mint State examples have been graded by PCGS, which emphasizes the significance of this lustrous AU piece. The 1854-D is noteworthy as the only Dahlonega Mint three-dollar gold piece and its appeal is legendary for its tiny mintage. Perhaps only about 300 coins survive in all grades, and many show considerable impairments and disappointing eye appeal. This piece is a delightful exception. PCGS Population: 12; 40 finer.
