详细说明

Appealing satin surfaces are boldly defined with even medium gold patina. Originally conceived to coincide with the three-cent postal rate introduced in 1851, three-dollar gold pieces never proved popular with the contemporary public. By the last years of the series, mintages were minuscule and examples saw limited commercial use. To illustrate this point, the circulation strike mintage for the 1888 amounted to only 5,000 pieces. Survivors are relatively few in number, and they become increasingly more challenging to acquire as one progresses through the Mint State grading scale.
