- 1866 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-50 (PCGS). Warmly patinated in honey-gold, both sides also reveal subtle silver and pale rose highlights as the surfaces dip into a light. Boldly defined and lustrous for the grade, ample evidence of a semi-reflective finish remains in the fields. Despite the Civil War ending the year before, 1866 did not see the return of gold coinage to active commerce in the eastern and Midwestern areas of the United States. Illustrative of this fact, and also the continued unpopularity of this denomination with contemporary Americans, the Philadelphia Mint struck just 4,000 circulation strike three-dollar gold pieces in 1866. This issue is scarce to rare in all grades, Q. David Bowers and Douglas Winter (2005) accounting for only 125 to 180 circulated and 25 to 40 Mint State survivors. PCGS# 7987. NGC ID: 25MM.
