- 1856 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-64 (PCGS). A satiny and lustrous near-Gem further enhanced by warm honey-apricot color. Four pairs of three-dollar gold dies were made for use at the Philadelphia Mint in 1856, but only two reverse dies were employed to deliver 26,010 circulation strikes. These include what are called today the Low Date and High Date varieties. The present Choice Mint State piece is of the Low Date style, though there is not much space between DOLLARS and the bow below for these differences to be immediately noticeable. The digit 1 in the date is immediately centered below the letter O in DOLLARS; on the High Date variety the 1 is beneath the right side of the O. All of the three-dollar gold coins of this date were delivered in two batches in April of the year; perhaps they were from the two different reverses. Regardless, this is far scarcer issue in Mint State than the first year 1854, to say nothing of the 1874 and 1878. PCGS Population: 34; 6 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 7974. NGC ID: 25M8.
