Description du lot

Frosty surfaces also reveal suggestions of a modest semi-prooflike finish in the fields as the coin rotates under a light. Boldly, if not sharply struck throughout, both sides are uncommonly free of sizeable marks for a BU example of this challenging 19th century gold type. A low mintage issue with just 15,589 circulation strikes produced, the 1859 three is particularly elusive in attractive Mint State preservation, as here.
