Product Details: The $3 gold piece is an intriguing and short-lived chapter in U.S. coinage, minted from 1854 to 1889. Conceived in the wake of the California Gold Rush and the Coinage Act of 1853, this unique denomination was originally intended to facilitate the purchase of sheets of 3-cent postage stamps. Despite its practical purpose, the coin was never widely accepted in circulation, making all dates in the series scarce and highly sought after by collectors. This coin has been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as Mint State 62 with a plus designation. The MS grade confirms that the coin shows no signs of circulation wear. An MS 62 grade indicates a coin with a slightly weak or average strike and more or larger abrasions than a coin in a higher grade like MS 63. The '+' designation is a premium indicator, signifying that the coin is at the high end of its grade, offering superior eye appeal for its classification. This particular example is an excellent choice for a collector seeking an attractive, problem-free, and historically significant coin without the steep premium of the higher Mint State grades. Do not miss the chance to own this rare and beautiful gold coin, a tangible link to a fascinating era of U.S. history and currency.
