Losbeschreibung

Pleasing color in a blend of olive-gold and pale pink, the surfaces also possess ample evidence of a softly frosted 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.
