1857 Gold Three Dollar


1857 Gold Three Dollar

Circulation Mintage: 20,891
Obverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: 1857 | 3 DOLLARS

The 1857 $3 mintage of 20,891 pieces was more than 5,000 coins fewer than the Philadelphia Mint output of the previous year, and not surprisingly, the 1857 is slightly rarer in Mint State than its 1856 counterpart. The 1857 $3s seemingly circulated well, and many of today’s surviving specimens are VF to EF with a goodly amount of AU coins in the mix as well. In Mint State the rarity of the date is indisputable, and gem examples are at the high end of the rarity scale today.
