Description du lot

Attractively toned warm honey-golden surfaces also possess ample evidence of a satiny finish from the dies. Boldly defined overall, as befits the assigned grade. Despite its status as the most frequently encountered San Francisco Mint three dollar gold piece, the 1856-S is still a scarce issue when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics. Only 34,500 coins were produced, most of which have long since been lost to commercial use.
