1862 $3 Gold Princess MS-62 PCGS CAC
The three-dollar gold piece remains one of the most distinctive and unusual denominations in the history of United States coinage. Minted in 1862 at the Philadelphia Mint, this particular coin comes from a remarkably small production run of just 5,750 pieces. Because it bears no mint mark, we know it was struck at the nation's primary coining facility during a time of intense national upheaval. The obverse of the coin features a stylized representation of Liberty wearing an ornate feathered headdress, surrounded by the bold inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The reverse displays the denomination of 3 DOLLARS and the year 1862 nestled within a rich, detailed wreath. This specific specimen has survived the generations in exceptional condition, earning a Mint State 62 (MS-62) grade and receiving further validation with approval for its quality.
