$3 Gold Princess AU Details (Cleaned)
Among the most unusual denominations in United States numismatic history is the three-dollar gold piece, minted during a span from 1854 to 1889. These coins contain 0.1451 troy ounces of gold, composed of a 0.900 fine gold alloy. Over the years, vast numbers of these pieces were melted down, making surviving examples particularly intriguing to study. The obverse of this gold coin showcases a profile known as the Indian Princess, wearing a stylized feather headdress. The word LIBERTY is inscribed upon the band of the crown. Surrounding this central figure are the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. On the reverse, a detailed wreath encircles the central design elements. Inside this wreath, the coin displays its face value of 3 DOLLARS along with the specific year of issue. This particular example is in Almost Uncirculated condition, showing signs of cleaning while retaining its historic details.
