The 1880 $3 Princess Gold coin is a notable piece of U.S. numismatic history. It features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, with Lady Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Minted in 90% gold, this coin was produced during a brief period from 1854 to 1889 when the $3 denomination was in circulation. The 1880 issue had a relatively low mintage, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
