The $3 Princess Gold coin, minted in 1860 at the Philadelphia Mint, is a notable example of American numismatics. This coin, featuring a depiction of Liberty with a coronet, symbolizes a unique period in U.S. coinage when the $3 denomination was introduced. Designed by engraver James B. Longacre, the Princess Gold coins were produced primarily for jewelry and not widely circulated, making them a sought-after collectible for numismatists. Their limited mintage and distinctive design contribute to their appeal among collectors today.
