1857-S Gold Three Dollar


1857-S Gold Three Dollar

Circulation Mintage: 14,250
Estimated Survivors: 160-225 in All Conditions
Obverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: 1857 | S | 3 DOLLARS

Of the 14,250 struck, nearly every piece experienced some degree of circulation in the hustle-bustle California economy. Indeed, an estimated 160 to 225 survive, usually VF to EF, with AU examples considered rare. It is estimated that fewer than a half dozen true Mint State examples of the date can be accounted for today, and the Pogue specimen (PCGS MS-64, sold in Feb. 2016) is the finest among that tiny number.
