1863 Three Dollar Gold $3 NGC AU58. 1863 $3 Indian Princess Head. James B. Longacre’s $3 Indian Princess Head gold piece has long fascinated the collecting public. In addition, Civil War coinage is always in favor and with the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War fast approaching it is a sure bet that demand for coins from that era will increase greatly. These factors taken together should make pieces such as this particularly appealing to collectors/investors.

Of an original mintage of 5,000, it is estimated that just 625-650 survive across all grades making this another scarce Civil War issue from the series. The coin offered here is ever so close to full Mint State with only a few very minor touches of wear present. The surfaces are a pleasing honey golden color and are notably free of any major abrasions or distractions. With above average eye appeal, this specimen is very choice for the grade and certainly worthy of inclusion in a high end collection
