Lot Description

1856 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-62 (NGC). A captivating example with vibrant mint frost and pretty yellow-gold and pastel peach toning. The motifs reveal outstanding definition, especially over the centers, with only slight weakness found on the wreath bow. The wispy surface marks seem fewer-than-expected for the grade.
