1855 $3 Gold Princess AU-53 NGC
In 1855, the United States Mint produced a distinctive three-dollar gold coin, a denomination that stands out as an unusual chapter in American numismatic history. Struck with a gold purity of 0.900, this coin contains 0.1451 troy ounces of precious metal. The Philadelphia Mint struck a total of 50,555 of these pieces during this specific year. Because they were minted in Philadelphia, these coins do not carry a mint mark. The obverse of the coin showcases a detailed profile known as the Indian Princess. On the reverse, the design features a decorative wreath that frames the denomination of three dollars and the 1855 year of issue. This specific coin has been graded in About Uncirculated 53 (AU-53) condition, preserving the intricate details of its mid-nineteenth-century craftsmanship for modern observers to appreciate.
