Lot Description

The rigors of circulation undoubtedly took a heavy toll on this low mintage (14,000 pieces) three-dollar gold issue from the San Francisco Mint. Elusive in all grades, the 1857-S is typically offered no finer than EF. With light highpoint wear and considerable remnants of mint luster, this coin will be appealing to many 19th century gold collectors. With olive undertones to warm golden-orange color.
