<B>1859 $3 MS65 NGC.</B></I> Breen-6361. Both the 1 and the 9 in the date are repunched. This reverse is from the more difficult of two die marriages utilized in the production of 15,558 business strikes, but is actually more frequently seen on higher grade examples. Perhaps 100-125 Mint State pieces survive of the 1859 three dollar, a quantity that actually places it among the more obtainable issues in the series. Gems, however, are of the utmost scarcity and it has been more than eight years since we have been fortunate enough to offer one. This shimmering yellow-gold Gem is remarkable for its smoothness and displays a soft, frosted sheen over devices that leave only a touch of softness on the often incomplete bow at the base of the wreath. There is little evidence of die clashing on either side. Census: 2 in 65, 3 finer (12/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
