1860-S $3 Gold NGC AU58
<b>1860-S &#36;3 Gold. NGC graded AU58.</b> The San Francisco Mint produced &#36;3 pieces of the varieties 1855-S, 1856-S, 1857-S, and 1860-S, after which only the 1870-S &#36;3 was made, the latter coin considered to be unique today.

Brilliant and lustrous, a high-grade example with original full mint frost around the devices and stretching into the fields on both sides. A prize example of this elusive branch mint issue. Such pieces are not seen often.

The mintage of the 1860-S &#36;3, all with a small S mintmark on the reverse, amounted to 7,000 pieces. Some 2,592 were considered to be light in weight and were stored at the mint until 1869, when they were melted into bullion. Thus, the net circulation mintage is only 4,408. NGC #565902-004.

The 1860-S represents the latest-dated collectible San Francisco Mint &#36;3. The only later issue is the famous 1870-S, showcased in the unique ex Eliasberg specimen.
