1874 $3 Gold Princess MS-63 NGC
In 1874, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of just 41,800 gold three-dollar coins. These distinctive pieces, struck without a mint mark, offer a fascinating glimpse into nineteenth-century American coinage. The denomination itself is an unusual chapter in monetary history, standing out from the more common quarter eagles and half eagles of the era. This specific coin has survived in remarkable condition, certified by professional graders as Mint State 63 (MS-63). Composed of 90 percent gold, it contains 0.1451 troy ounces of precious metal. The preservation of its surfaces allows observers to appreciate the intricate details of the design, which features the iconic Princess motif on the obverse and a reverse displaying the denomination and the 1874 date.
