coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ $3 (Three Dollars) \ $3 Princess Gold \ 1885 \ Philadelphia
The 1885 $3 Princess Gold coin, minted in Philadelphia, is a notable example of collectible coins in the United States. This coin features an elegant design, depicting the head of Liberty in a diadem on the obverse and a wreath with a numeral "3" on the reverse. Struck in 90% gold and weighing 5.016 grams, the $3 gold piece was issued primarily for commercial transactions but is now sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance. The 1885 issue is particularly valued, as it represents a pivotal period in American coinage history.
