Incredible Near-Mint 1854-D Three-Dollar Gold 1854-D Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (NGC). An extraordinary condition rarity to represent this key date three-dollar gold issue from the Dahlonega Mint. The patina displays warm yellow-gold shades with tremendous satiny luster in the protected areas. A small mark is visible in the field at Liberty's forehead, but traces of handling are relatively minimal. Only nine coins have been graded finer by NGC, the finest of which is "merely" an MS-62. A minor edge bump at 8 o'clock on the reverse is well concealed by the NGC holder. The mintage for this first year of issue was only 1,120 pieces and only about 300 remain today. The majority of these exhibit considerable wear and impairments, rarely exceeding grades of EF-45. Mint State pieces are virtually unobtainable, thus even advanced collectors assembling date and mint sets are pressed to buy this particular issue in circulated grades. At the Choice AU level, this formidable rarity has always been very elusive and subject to strong demand. NGC Census: 22; 9 finer. PCGS# 7970. NGC ID: 25M4.
