The Three Dollar Gold Coin, also known as the "Three Dollar" denomination, was minted by the United States from 1854 to 1889. It features a design by the engraver James B. Longacre, depicting Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The 1873 issue falls within a period of limited production, making it a noteworthy collectible for enthusiasts. Its numismatic appeal stems from its rarity, historical significance, and the unique valuation of gold content, which was set at three dollars at the time of minting.
