The 1857 Three Dollar Gold coin, commonly referred to as the $3 Princess Gold, is a notable collectible from the United States Mint, specifically struck in San Francisco. Designed by engraver James B. Longacre, the coin features a youthful depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a denomination of three dollars within a wreath on the reverse. The $3 Princess Gold coin was issued from 1854 to 1889, and the 1857 edition is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance in American coinage. Its gold content and unique denomination contribute to its desirability among numismatists.
