The Three Dollar Gold coin, also known as the "Three Dollar Piece," was issued by the United States Mint from 1854 to 1889. It was primarily struck in 90% gold and 10% copper and was intended to facilitate the purchase of $3 worth of gold from the Mint. The 1855 San Francisco version is particularly noteworthy due to its limited mintage and significant historical context, making it a sought-after item among collectors. Its distinctive design features Liberty on the obverse and an agricultural motif on the reverse. The coin represents a unique period in U.S. numismatic history.
