NGC Expert Comments:
The curious USA three-dollar gold piece was struck annually at the Philadelphia Mint in ever-dwindling numbers from 1854 through 1889. The collection is complete for all 36 pieces grading Mint State or very close to it. This set represents quite an achievement, as all but three of these dates are quite scarce. Among the more remarkable specimens are 1857 (NGC MS 63), the low-mintage issues of 1865 (AU 58) and 1867 (MS 62), the very rare 1873 Closed 3 and 1877 (both AU 58) and a lovely MS 63 example of 1883 (mintage 900 pieces).
