The $3 Princess Gold coin, also known as the Three Dollar Gold piece, was minted in the United States from 1854 to 1889. The 1867 Philadelphia issue features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, showcasing a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. These coins were struck in 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing 5.015 grams, and were primarily used in the 19th century for large transactions and as a means of facilitating trade. Due to their limited mintage and historical significance, $3 Princess Gold coins are considered highly collectible among numismatists and investors.
