1854-O. NGC graded AU-55. Untoned. Popular "O" mint. Only 24,000 minted. Most design features show somewhat weak definition including the "O" mintmark which is softly impressed as is typical for the issue. A scattering of small abrasions is noted, which because they arent unusual, this piece will still find avid buyers at any point in the future. The 1854-O has long been recognized as a great rarity in Uncirculated condition. David Akers, a diligent numismatic researcher in the field of U.S. gold coinage rarities, noted that the 1854-O "is rare in AU and very rare in Uncirculated condition." Q. David Bowers in his United States $3 Gold Pieces, 1854-1889, published in 2005, estimated a surviving Uncirculated population of only three or four pieces. EF40 to AU50 is usually the best a collector can find (PCGS # 7971) . Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000. Categories: $3 Gold
