The Three Dollar gold coin, issued by the United States from 1854 to 1889, was designed to facilitate the gold trade and is often linked to the pre-existing, widely used gold dollar. The 1860 Three Dollar gold coin, minted in San Francisco, is particularly notable for its limited mintage and aesthetic design, featuring Liberty on the obverse and a laurel wreath on the reverse. This coin represents a significant era in American numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical context.
