1862 $3 Gold Princess MS-63+ PCGS
1862 $3 Gold Princess MS-63+ PCGS
Struck during the turbulent second year of the American Civil War, this 1862 gold coin carries a face value of three dollars. It is a fascinating relic from an era when precious metal coinage was rapidly disappearing from daily circulation. The Philadelphia Mint produced only 5,750 of these pieces, making it a notably scarce issue for enthusiasts to study. This specific specimen has survived in an exceptional state of preservation, certified at a high-quality Mint State 63+ (MS-63+). Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.1451 troy ounces of precious metal. The reverse of the coin displays the denomination of 3 DOLLARS centered above the 1862 year of issue, all framed by a detailed wreath. The obverse features a stylized representation of Liberty wearing an ornate feathered headdress, surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
