<B>1855 $3 MS64 NGC.</B></I> The mintages of early Philadelphia three dollar gold issues were harbingers of the denomination's eventual fate. The 1854 had a generous mintage of 138,618 pieces, but the main Mint coined just 50,555 pieces the next year, and the year after that, production was just over one-half of the original figure.<BR> While the 1855 is infrequently prized as a condition rarity, especially in the context of a series with many low-mintage issues, Choice and finer coins are genuinely scarce. This shining yellow-gold example has flashy luster and well-defined obverse devices, though the bow on the reverse is soft. Modestly marked for the grade with this issue's often-considerable die polish in the fields. Census: 21 in 64, 2 finer (3/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
