The only New Orleans ‘Three’ with a mintage of 24,000. This issue saw heavy circulation resulting in a low survival rate and very few nice coins. This is an exceptionally pleasing example with strong detail and bright lustrous surfaces. Just 5 coins have graded finer at PCGS and the eye appeal of this coin is […]

A better date and the only three dollar gold coin struck at the New Orleans Mint. This is a desirable high-end XF with minor contact marks that are consistent with the grade.

Solid detail with attractive natural coin-gray surfaces. An interesting variety as the mintmark is a large and misshaped blunder, not the accidental usage of a mintmark intended for a larger denomination coin.

CAC. A strange variety because the mintmark isn’t just too large, it’s also poorly shaped. This wasn’t a half dollar or dollar ‘O’ accidently used on a quarter die. The present coin is well detailed for the grade with well-worn but still very attractive coin-gray surfaces.

Beautiful yellow-gold luster flows across sharply struck and satiny surfaces. Marks are minor and of no consequence. A fantastic Type 2 near ‘Gem’ example with excellent eye appeal!

CAC. Strong detail with lustrous original surfaces.

CAC. Well detailed with choice original surfaces and underlying luster.

Boldly struck with rich satiny mint luster and just a touch of rub.

Sharply struck with light golden toning and strong underlying luster.
